Welcome to the website for Christian Homes.

Family

 God created Adam and Eve and blessed them.

God laid the principle of leaving, cleaving and becoming one.

Unity in the couple is the ultimate plan of God for the couple.

And God appointed the Husband as the head of the house and the wife as the partner and helper to the husband. The husband and wife, individually must have a relationship with God and must be growing spiritually. It is very important that a believer must be married to a believer ( only then they can be yoked together).

The Christian family is a miniature of the Church. Most of the principles laid out for the church also implies to the family.

Husband - love your wife as Christ loved the Church.

Wife - submit and respect your husband as the Church submits to Christ.

Husband is instructed by God to Love his wife just as Christ loved the Church.

Ephesians 5:²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, ²⁶ that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, ²⁷ that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. ³⁰ For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. ³¹ “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” ³² This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. ³³ Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. 

Husband is instructed by God to respect his wife and be considerate to his wife.

I Peter: ⁷ Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. ( NKJV)

The wife is to be treated with care and tenderness. Just like how we handle a fragile vessel made of glass any delicate thing, a wife has to be honored and handled with care. I heard many people calling the woman - " a weaker vessel". This verse does'nt say she is a weaker vessel, but she is to be treated and handled like how a weaker vessel is handled. 

The wife is also a heir together with the husband, to the grace of life. 

When a husband considers his wife as God's daughter, his perspective to his wife will be much different.

A warning to the husbands: if they do not give honor to wife and do treat them with dignity, their prayers will be hindered.

A husband cannot expect God to answer his prayers when he does not treat his wife in a right manner.

Husband's prayers or offerings will not be accepted if his wife is not treated properly .

Malachi 2:

¹³ And this is the second thing you do:
You cover the altar of the Lord with tears,
With weeping and crying;
So He does not regard the offering anymore,
Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.

¹⁴ Yet you say, “For what reason?”
Because the Lord has been witness
Between you and the wife of your youth,
With whom you have dealt treacherously;
Yet she is your companion
And your wife by covenant.

¹⁵ But did He not make them one,
Having a remnant of the Spirit?
And why one?
He seeks godly offspring.
Therefore take heed to your spirit,
And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.
