Raising godly homes, like any other Christian calling, has its roots in the gospel. The more we behold the cross, the clearer we can ascertain God's demands for each member of a household. This marital union comes with privileges and responsibilities. What is not often emphasized in our culture is the seriousness of a marital oath's responsibilities. For a covenant meant to last a lifetime, it is wisdom not to decide on who to be with based on fleeting attributes—qualities that depreciate as the years go by. Rather, the man or woman of God, guided by scripture, is expected to decide on a partner who shares a common faith and hope and whose life is ruled by God's love. These are values that are forever appreciated. God has a vision for fruitfulness and multiplication for every marital union. And it is the will of God for every home to be filled with children as God graces those in covenant. Godly masculinity at its very core is an election of service. Men are called to serve their families sacrificially in the same way Christ demonstrated His love to the church. Men ought to be imitators of Christ first before anything else. Everything he does as a leader of the home is unto God as one who will be held accountable for the family affairs. Godly femininity is rooted in an identity in Christ. Ladies are first called to flourish as fervent Christians, offering their lives unto God which is their reasonable worship before they are called to anything else. In the home, God demands that ladies support and build with the one they are betrothed to in fulfilling the commission of God upon the family to be fruitful and multiply. Godly parenting is a responsibility unto God. Parents are merely stewards of God’s gifts. The love of the father in the home is meant to portray the unconditional love God has for His children, the care and nurture of the mother ought to model the attentiveness and affection of a loving God who is committed to our good at all times, even when we have nothing to offer Him. Even in how discipline is done in the home, how career paths are chosen, and the way children are instructed to live, all of these must be done in honour of God’s vision for families, which is for each person to thrive in accordance with His will.
