What is a family? For much of human history, the answer was fairly simple. However, the configuration of families has been changing over time. In the early 1960s in the U.S., two-thirds of children were raised in male-breadwinner, married-couple families. By contrast, today there is no one family-and-work arrangement that encompasses the majority of children. Today’s Top Ten examines ten reasons why families are important, including the model that our first relationships provide for future relationships, the importance of family time on the wellbeing of children, Jesus’ teachings about marriage, and God’s commands for children.
Scriptures referenced include Genesis 2:18-24; 1 John 3:1; Genesis 1:28; Mark 10:6-9; Deuteronomy 6:6-7; and Deuteronomy 11:19.
