First Things First:

   with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first
   commandment.”

   Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave
   Himself for her…

   man, one woman and God.
3. Children

   And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in
   the training and admonition of the Lord.
4. Church
   Hebrews 10:25 AMP

   the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching.
   Ecclesiastes 4:12 NLT
   A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand
   back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is
   not easily broken.
5. Family and Friends

   Some friends don’t help, but a true friend is closer than your own family.
