Destroying the enmity in marriageChrist destroyed the enmity in our flesh, which causes husband and wife to clash, making quick forgiveness essential in the early years.Ephesians 2:14–15

Two important lessons: ask and forgive quicklyNever go to bed angry; pride is the only thing that prevents someone from admitting a mistake and asking for forgiveness.

Recognizing imperfections in your partner and yourselfRemember that you are an imperfect person married to an imperfect person, and your partner bears with your peculiarities just as you bear with theirs.

Family life forms the foundation of the churchYou cannot have glory in the church before you have glory in your personal life and home, making the building of a Godly home vital.

Building a marriage takes time and deliberate savingJust as people patiently save money over years to build a retirement house, couples must deny themselves and patiently work toward a happy marriage.

The true strength of a churchThe strength of a church is measured by the quality of its homes—homes that press on to perfection and humility rather than being perfect.

The promise of training up a childBelieving God's word means trusting that when you train up a child in the way they should go, when they are old they will not depart from it.Proverbs 22:6

Navigating the teenage years with friendship and loveDuring the rebellious teenage and up-and-down stages, parents should be friends to their children, offering hugs, love, and short prayers.

Encouraging children at homeChildren face a negative world full of bullying at school, so parents must provide a home environment with ten encouragements for every correction.

Stimulating an interest in the scripturesFathers especially should use picture Bibles and simple questions to stimulate children's interest in studying and knowing the scriptures.
