(The following is a continuation of my views on msn.com’s story on “10 Big Mistakes Parents Make”.)
6) Not being a good spouse: However you read Eph 5:22-28 which says “Wives submit to your husbands…” and “Husbands love your wives…”, the focus of this passage is not to label a “boss”, but to set up a precedent for living out a loving and Christ-centered marriage. If the husband and wife and treating each other as they would Christ, then their children will be able to appreciate the loving picture of Christ as the bridegroom and the church as the bride. They will also have a clear picture of how to treat their own spouse in the future.
Take a moment to consider your relationship with your Father in heaven, with you as His child, and then your relationship (as a parent) with your own beloved children. (Watch for the rest of this list to be updated daily.)
