Parents are required by God to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of Lord Jesus.

It is the duty of all people to honor their father and mother, that their lives may be long in the land. All people are also required to honor the marriage bed and consider it and the blessing of children among the highest gifts given by God to men, and the basic building block of human society.
