Husbands, Wives, and Children, Oh My!

Colossians 3:18-21    
18 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.  19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.  20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.  21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

Husbands, wives, and children, oh my!  There is order and equality in the family, with mutual submission and respect.  There is headship, but never lordship, discipline but not provoking to obey.  The idea is not to discourage each other, but to build each other up in love.  Amen!
