You are here: Home / Heavenly Habits / love their husbands and children…

January 21, 2011 by: Kim Whipple

love their husbands and children…

I thought about trying to come up with something meaningful to say about the Scripture below, but really, It doesn’t need my help.

So, believers let us…

Guide older women into lives of reverence so they end up as neither gossips nor drunks, but models of goodness. By looking at them, the younger women will know how to love their husbands and children, be virtuous and pure, keep a good house, be good wives. We don’t want anyone looking down on God’s Message because of their behavior. Also, guide the young men to live disciplined lives.

But mostly, show them all this by doing it yourself, incorruptible in your teaching, your words solid and sane. Then anyone who is dead set against us, when he finds nothing weird or misguided, might eventually come around. Titus 2: 2-6, The Message

To love their husbands;
to help and assist them all they can; to seek their honour and interest; to endeavour to please them in all things; to secure peace, harmony, and union; to carry it affectionately to them, and sympathize with them in all afflictions and distresses.

To love their children;
not with a fond, foolish, loose, and ungoverned affection; but so as to seek their real good, and not only their temporal, but spiritual and eternal welfare; to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; and to use and keep proper discipline and government over them; for otherwise, amidst all the fondness of natural affection, a parent may be said to hate a child. (Proverbs 13:24)

John Gill’s Exposition of the Bible

What about you? Are you doing a good job of loving your husband and loving your children?  Are these areas of your life an example to other believers?

    So true! My heart’s desire is to bring glory to God through loving Him and loving others (first and foremost my husband and children).
