The family is the building block of society and if the family is destroyed, there is nothing anyone can do.
In families we have challenges but God has all the answers. A wise man once said: take care of your home. No amount of success in your career or vocation can compensate for failure in your home . You can lose money but don’t lose your family. Be ready to give your life for your family.
Never Joke with family. Family is everything.
Psalms 127:1- NKJV Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate
God is the One who places people in families and no man is a biological accident. He places everyman in a family for a purpose.
He is the builder and supervises the construction of the family.
We have to built according to God’s pattern.
The scriptural directive for wives to submit themselves to the husband is not subject to argument. The husband is to love unconditionally.
The husband being the head dies not make him Alpha and Omega. He is to love even when the wife does not deserve it. The true test of love is when the person does not deserve it.

Proverbs 6:10-11 A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,

11then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;

but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way
It means that the human hands without God is vain!
Genesis 11:4 NKJV And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
This plans were without God and God also said: let us go… So let us met with Let us and their languages were confused!
A wise man will encourage his wife to be spiritual and a wise woman will be pushing the husband forward for the things of God, for the company you keep determines who you become. No man can escape the character of a relationship!
A peaceful and happy home is every couple’s dream, while a crisis ridden home is a couple’s nightmare.
Proverbs 24:3-6 NKJV Through wisdom a house is built,
And by understanding it is established;
4 By knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.

Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength;
6 For by wise counsel you will wage your own war,
And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.
Marriage is entered by attraction and compatibility, but it is sustained by wisdom.

Mathew 7:24-27 NKJV Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

A wise man builds on the rock, and that rock is Jesus.
Both marriages from.the above scripture suffered the same assault.
The rain always comes to test the coverings,
The storms will come.to test the stability,
The floods will come.to test the foundations, and if the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Don’t complain for what you allowed and don’t blame anyone for what you permitted. You will not eat the bread of sorrows in the Name of Jesus Christ
