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!”—Luke 11:28, New World Translation.

WHAT THAT CAN MEAN FOR YOU
Finding real love.—Ephesians 5:28, 29.

Enjoying genuine respect.—Ephesians 5:33.

Having true security.—Mark 10:6-9.

 Scenes of happy family life: A mother and daughter, a couple, parents with their son

 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.

A young couple receive advice from a Christian elder; they read together from the Bible 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.
