Moms and dads, husbands and wives, children who are honored in the home will be better followers, better leaders, better workers, and more understanding and willing to offer honor to others outside the home because of the foundation of honor that is their home base.



The dictionary definition of Honor is: to value, to esteem, to respect, to treat favorably, to have high regard for



HONOR YOUR SPOUSE
Honor in our marriage starts with this principle: that we are one.


Drop the thinking of how much you are ā€œsacrificingā€ to honor your spouse, almost like a running tally in your mind. That isn’t honor, that’s a transaction which says, "I’m only doing this because I’m expecting something in return.ā€


Honor Your Wife


Men - How we honor our wife impacts our prayers
Our wives are to be equal partners in this marriage and in life with us AND we are the one asked to approach her with understanding!


ā€œWeakerā€ is referring to physical abilities



Inviting your wife into decisions is just the start of honor.



The only time we should override our wife’s preference is if we feel it is God’s best for the family as a whole.



Honor Your Husband


Submitting and respecting is to respect their position of leadership in the home and recognizing the responsibility to God that they carry to lead their home and family.



The Amplified version describes in more detail how to honor your husband: NOTICE HIM!; regard him, honor him, prefer him, venerate, esteem him, defer to him, praise him, love and admire him exceedingly!



PRAY FOR HIM DAILY!!!!

Yes, there are boundaries. You are not being told to stay in an abusive relationship.



Honoring our spouse sets the model for our kids. They are watching and learning. They see how you treat each other and it sets the model for how your kids will honor you as their parents.


HONOR YOUR CHILDREN
Children need regular encouragement. We dishonor them not only when we speak harsh or negative words to them but also when we fail to praise or accept them at the right time.



Our children will grow into what we speak over them. They rise or fall to our words of expectation and value.
All you have to do to be reminded of what a reward children are is to talk to someone who doesn’t have children or isn’t able to have children and your perspective will be shifted.


HONORING OUR FINANCES
The story of your bank account is an indication to you of where your heart is focused.


How we work to earn an income is honoring or dishonoring to God as well.



Homes with financial stress and burden have so much more chaos, typically marriage and family discord, and even their physical health is affected because they can’t sleep, aren’t eating well, etc.



Make the hard decisions now before you are so far down the road that you haven’t only destroyed yourself financially, but that your kids pay the price for your lack of honor in your finances, and their own financial problems because they learned bad practice from you.


Without God, there is nothing but chaos, confusion, inner turmoil, and hopelessness. Even if for a season, life feels great, until you honor God with your life, you will face things in your life and in your home that you cannot deal with apart from God.
