Proverbs 10:1 The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
Is it strange for you to read words like this saying that your father would be proudest when you did right but your mother would bear the grief if you did wrong?
We live in a very different world than when these words were written, but they still ring true in the sense that the head of the household will carry the pride, but the loving parent will bear the sorrow.
God has given us the example of love and marriage so that we can have functioning families who help and support each other; however you define it, we need families who love God!
