Bible Question: where in the bible it tells you about after marriage God is first, then Husband and wife, then children |
Bible Answer: Well, it's a conglomeration of verses really. The first (God being first) comes from Exodus 20:3 where it says to have No gods before God. Anything you put above God in priority becomes a 'god' to you, but I'm guessing that you knew that much. For a Wife being second- we turn to Ephesians 5:28, where husbands are instructed to love their wives as they love themselves. The two become one so the wife is top priority (except for God, for the reason stated above). Now chilren is a bit more sketchy. Love of children was assumed, not mandated. but in 1 John 3:1 we see the example of God's love for His children (us). If a man loves his wife as himself, then even if his love for his Children is great, it's not gonna be greater than his love for himself. It's also a differnt kind of Love (see Hebrews 12:6 and following) but that's another topic. Hope this answers your question. God Bless, Bethany |
