When Paul wrote in Ephesians, husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies, he was setting the bar pretty high, especially for someone that wasn’t even married. Then he takes it up another notch and says we are to cherish our wives as the Lord does the church! I dare say the majority of Christian men have failed in that area, I know I have and I apologize. Men don’t always realize how difficult it is and the amount of responsibility their wives have in running a home and raising children, but the Lord does. He knows that mothers are the ones who shape the world. And children, you are to obey your parents.in the Lord for this is right. Sadly, every child has not had a Godly mother to nurture them, love them, pray for them, but whether you had a mommy dearest or the dearest mommy, you are commanded to honor them. Our wives and mothers deserve all the love and respect we can give them, not only because the Lord commands it but because they do deserve it! A mother’s love is a powerful thing, be very thankful if you have received it!
 
THEY DESERVE IT!
