The Christian “dating” culture is a contradiction, leading to degradation and damage to marriage and family life. Many women learn too late that having children later in your life is difficult. In vitro fertilization is VERY expensive, not to mention a low rate of success.
Accept your position as King and Queen of your family with heavenly authority to guide your children when they are young (0-7). They will learn to respect your authority as the Father in the home.
The second stage (8-14), entering the teen years, is one of building conversations and understanding.
Don’t argue with your husband in front of your children. Show unity. Protecting the King’s authority also affirms the Queen’s authority. Wives should not nag husband or children. Control your desire to vent.
It’s natural for children in this second stage to rebel and to question the beliefs of the parents. This is the time to evangelize, study apologetics together. Don’t get upset if they express doubt or disagreement. Fast is slow and slow is fast. But, of course, if they are pursuing drugs or sex you have to chastise them.
True Father’s favorite calligraphy means “Words Actualized.” If you train, you will develop your parenting skills.
