Family Matters A Lot

                Family to me is something important because they are the main support you have to have to live a good life. They help you out when you are feeling down and they are happy for you when you are happy. Family also makes you who you are. For example if they don’t pay attention to you, you might end up neglected and not have that much self-esteem to make friends because you might think they will neglect you to.

                In a family, all its members have to contribute to it in order for it to be successful according to the Bible. God wants it to be happy so that is why he gave us instructions so it could be that way. Since he created the family, he knows exactly what we need to do to be cooperative in it so it can last forever. First of all we need to demonstrate love to one another in your family like God does to each and every one of us by giving his son Jesus to the world so we can receive his forgiveness. The father needs to love his wife like he loves his own body just like Jesus loved his followers and gave his life for them. Even if the wife sometimes doesn’t act with good judgment, the father needs to remember he to commits mistakes to and that he is not perfect either. The husbands need to be considerate of their wives because they are very fragile. He needs to have in mind her limitations and her physical needs like the love both need to show each other. The bible says that he who loves his wife, he loves his own self because once they get married they become one person. Each one has to be occupied in satisfying the needs of one another and not each one just worried about their own needs (What the Bible Really Teaches).

                 The same goes for the wife, she needs to learn how to forgive and forget to. That is why the bible says that a happy marriage is a union of people that know how to forgive each other. She also needs to remember that the husband might do mistakes to and she should not try to take over his position in the family because it belongs to him. As for the kids, they should obey their parents like Jesus obeyed his father which makes God happy and their parents to (What the Bible Really Teaches).
