What Is the Key to Happy Family Life?
Do you think it is . . .
-
love?
-
money?
-
something else?
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
“Happy are those hearing the word of God and keeping it!”
WHAT THAT CAN MEAN FOR YOU
Finding real love.
Enjoying genuine respect.
Having true security.
CAN WE REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
Yes, for at least two reasons:
-
God is the Originator of family life. The Bible says that “every family . . . owes its name” to Jehovah God. (Ephesians 3:14, 15) In other words, the family unit exists because Jehovah created it. Why is that significant?
Consider: If you were enjoying a tasty meal and wanted to learn its ingredients, whom would you ask? Logically, the person who prepared it.
Likewise, to discover the ingredients for a happy family life, we do well to look to Jehovah, the Originator of the family arrangement.
—Genesis 2:18-24. -
God cares about you. Families are wise to seek Jehovah’s advice, which he provides through his Word. Why? “Because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:6, 7) Jehovah has your best interests at heart
—and his counsel always works! —Proverbs 3:5, 6; Isaiah 48:17, 18.
TO THINK ABOUT
How can you be a good husband, wife, or parent?
The Bible answers that question at EPHESIANS 5:1, 2 and COLOSSIANS 3:18-21.
