Chris.
God, in His Word, tells His People how to be good parents. This Truth can be taken and applied by people from all religions or no religion and it can be good parenting counseling for them. When some difficulty comes into the family it is good to solve it with the Word of God, Prayer and Godly Wisdom. (We can always ask God for His Wisdom and He will answer that Prayer)
We should not passively wait until some "problem" happens and then react to it, rather we should be alert in Prayer for our family. Prayer prepares us for every situation. The family that loves each other practically, not passively; the family that communicates well with each other; the family that shares some spiritual life together and that sensitively prays together, this family has a better chance of standing against the schemes of every plan of Satan.
Passivity, whether it is to do with communication with each other, family spiritual life, or maintaining Biblical standards, will surely bring unnecessary suffering into the family.
Pride and perfectionism do not help our family life!
Every Believing family that really trusts in God can come together to Him in Prayer and with Fellowship and find His Blessing and His Help in any time of need.
To summarize: there are three things that are, or should be basic ingredients of family life: 1-Biblical standards and solutions. 2-Mutually shared spiritual life. 3-Naturally communicated love.
