Explanation

(a) Paul's teaching on this chapter was basically on the need for wives to be subject to their husbands, since this is what God expects from Christians (The man represents God as the Head of family). He also admonished the husband to love their wives by being humane and kind to them. To children, he urged them to obey their parents in everything for by so doing, they please God, Paul warned fathers against provoking their children lest they become violent. In the same vein he adviced slaves to obey their earthly masters in everything not with eye service but in singleness of heart, their service should be with the fear of God, since God will reward their faithful service.

(b) The husband and wife should act as a role model by religiously playing their expected roles for the children to emulate. The couples should strive to understand themselves by making peace at all times. Fathers should be tolerant with their spouses. Again, parents should be counseling their children and not provoking them to avoid conflict, the family must develop prayer life. Parents should bless their children rather than cursing them, they should exercise prudence in their financial dealings and avoid cursing the children.
