1 Peter 3: 7 ; Colossians 3: 13 A Good Family Life Investment

A Good Family Life Investment “What is your goal in marriage”? “What is your goal for the family? ”

A Good Family Life Investment I wanted to go to a place where you were important and people listened to what you had to say. Mothering hadn't done that. . . and yet. . . wouldn't it be ironic if my turf yielded the most important commodity being grown today? A family? A crop of children, seeded by two people, nourished by love, watered by tears, and in eighteen or twenty years harvested into worthwhile human beings to go through the process again. ERMA BOMBECK

A Good Family Life Investment The family is both the fundamental unit of society as well as the root of culture. It. . . is a perpetual source of encouragement, advocacy, assurance, and emotional refuelling that empowers a child to venture with confidence into the greater world and to become all that he can be. MARIANNE E. NEIFERT Dr. Mom's Parenting Guide

A Good Family Life Investment Principles for the Family 1. Understand Each Other You husbands likewise, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker vessel, since she is a woman; and grant her honour as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. 1 Peter 3: 7(NASB)

A Good Family Life Investment It means to make what is important to the other person as important to you as the other person is to you. 2. Keep Commitments “be generous with praise but cautious with promises”

A Good Family Life Investment I _____, take you ______, to be my lawful wedded (spouse). To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness. 4 So when you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him. 5 It is better to say nothing than to promise something that you don’t follow through on. Ecclesiastes 5: 4 -5 (NLT)

A Good Family Life Investment 3 Never let loyalty and kindness get away from you! Wear them like a necklace; write them down within your heart. 4 Then you will find favour with both God and people, and you will gain a good reputation. Proverbs 3: 3 -4 (NLT) Commitments build trust Trust is the foundation upon which a family is built

A Good Family Life Investment 3. Give Some Respect (Honour) Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honour giving preference to one another Romans 12: 10 The number one need in all people is the need for acceptance, the need to experience a sense of belonging to something and someone. The need for acceptance is more powerful in your family than anywhere else. . If that need is not met by your family, trust me, your kids will go elsewhere to seek it in order to find approval and acceptance. PHIL MCGRAW, Family First

A Good Family Life Investment be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don’t think only about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing. Philippians 2: 3 (NLT) 4. Ask For and Offer Forgiveness Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3: 13 (NLT)
