Colossians 3:19-20
Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
1 Corinthians 7:3
Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
Psalms 128:3-4
Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of your house; Your children like olive plants, Around your table. Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears Yahweh.
1 Timothy 5:8
But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
Ecclesiastes 9:9
Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity: for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.
1 Corinthians 11:3
But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
Proverbs 5:18-19
Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe and a graceful deer-- Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.
Genesis 18:19
For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him."
1 Peter 3:7
You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
Ephesians 5:25-33
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly; because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones. "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh." This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly. Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Psalms 127:3-5
Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Proverbs 17:6
Children's children are the crown of old men; The glory of children are their parents.
Proverbs 13:22,24
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous. One who spares the rod hates his son, But one who loves him is careful to discipline him.
Psalms 103:13
Like a father has compassion on his children, So Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.
Deuteronomy 6:6-9
These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes. You shall write them on the door-posts of your house, and on your gates.
Proverbs 15:20
A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother.
Proverbs 23:24
The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.
Colossians 3:21
Fathers, don't provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.
