BUILDING A FAMILY THAT HONORS GOD

SUPPOSE  you plan to build your own home.  You purchase the land. With keen anticipation, you see your new house in  your mind's eye. But what if you have no tools and no building skills?  How frustrating your efforts would be!

Many couples enter marriage envisioning a happy family, yet possess neither the tools nor the skills needed to build one. Shortly after the wedding day, negative patterns develop.  Fighting and bickering become a daily routine.  When children are born, the new father and mother find themselves no more skilled at parenthood than they are at marriage.

Happily, however, the Bible can help. Its principles are like tools that enable you to build a happy family. (Proverbs 24:3)  Let us see how.
