    LIVING AS CHRISTIANS

    Show Love in the Family

    Love is the glue that binds a family together. Without love, a family will struggle to maintain unity and a spirit of cooperation. How can husbands, wives, and parents show love in the family?

    A loving husband will consider his wife’s needs, point of view, and feelings. (Eph 5:28, 29) He will provide physically and spiritually for his family, including having a regular Family Worship evening. (1Ti 5:8) A loving wife will be in subjection to her husband and show him “deep respect.” (Eph 5:22, 33; 1Pe 3:1-6) Both mates must be willing to forgive each other freely. (Eph 4:32) Loving parents show personal interest in each of their children and teach them to love Jehovah. (De 6:6, 7; Eph 6:4) What challenges do their children face in school? How are they coping with peer pressure? When love abounds within the family, all of its members will feel safe and secure.
