Family is at the center of God’s plan for the happiness and progress of His children. The Holy Bible teaches that God established families from the very beginning, and it shows us many examples of strong families. It also teaches us how to have a loving, happy family. 

Then it will come true that they will be happy in being loved and you will be loved in their happiness. And all this will be from God whose happiness overflows in love to all who hope in him (Psalm 147:11). 

Psalm 127:3 - Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. When we think about family life, children are a vital part of the family unit. Bible verses about family such as Psalm 127:3 highlight that children are truly a gift from God, God is the one who provides us with life so we can abide His word of “Be fruitful and multiply" in Genesis.

Proverbs 22:6 - “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Psalm 133:1 - Family unity is essential to navigating a devout life as a family. We learn that God is pleased when a family unit works together, collectively and cohesively in their respective roles as mother, father and children. Following His instructions for family life leads us closer to Christ. 

Jesus Christ taught that marriage is holy and essential to God’s plan: “From the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh: so, then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” (Mark 10:6–9)
