As the divorce rate dramatically increases over time, the break-up of families is becoming a very serious problem. Conflict in the family cannot be resolved with the efforts of just one member. It can be resolved only when every family member respects each other and makes sacrifices for one another. The ways of establishing and maintaining an ideal family are well described in the Bible. Ephesians 5:22-28 tells wives to be subject to their own husbands as to the Lord and husbands to love their wives as their own bodies. Ephesians 6:4 tells fathers not to provoke their children to anger, but to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
