Who should be subject to whom in marriage?The speaker asks the audience about mutual submission in marriage and how the head relates to the body in providing mutual support.

Respecting God's given responsibilitiesWhile wives can give suggestions, the husband carries the final responsibility as the head to take decisions in the home.

The first commandment: leaving father and motherGenesis 2:24 establishes that a man must leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife to become one flesh, avoiding marital problems.

Following Jesus' example regarding parentsLeaving parents does not mean neglecting them. Jesus balanced honoring His mother while retaining the right to make His own ultimate decisions.

Loving and respecting one anotherHusbands must love and care for their wives as their own bodies, and wives should show deep respect for their husbands as heads of the home.

How decisions mirror the unity of husband and wifeJust as having children requires both parents, making decisions in a Christian home requires the husband to take input from his wife and arrive at a joint conclusion.

The practical foundation of parenting and honoring parentsAnnie Poonen shares how she and her husband remained united, respected each other, and practicalized love toward their aging parents.

Stopping criticism and gossip in front of childrenMothers must stop habits of finding fault and criticizing, because children absorb these negative traits and repeat them in their own lives.

Care for aging parents and the warning of reaping what we sowJesus cared for His mother while on the cross, showing we must support our aging parents; the way we treat our parents sets the exact pattern our children will use with us.

Resolving disagreements privately away from childrenHusbands and wives must discuss or argue in private rooms rather than exposing their children to destructive conflicts and poor examples.

Valuing the church and depending on God's graceParents must teach their children to value the church and stand true to Christ without compromise, depending ultimately on God's mercy to preserve the family.
