1.Family is Important – Malachi 2:15 (NLT) – “Didn’t the LORD make you one with your wife? In body and spirit, you are His. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard yourself; remain loyal to the wife of your youth.” #Family

2.Family is important because it is the primary social unit that God designed for creating and molding human beings. Family is His greatest asset on this planet. In the beginning, God created and bless the family. Gen 1:26-28 (NLT). #Family

3.We have said before that man was created in the image of God and was made powerful. God only started the creation; he did not finish the job because he created man to be his co-creator. We will not fulfil our destiny as creators if there is nothing to create. #Family

4.When it came to the creation of man God created only one man and one woman and leaves the rest of the job to us. He designed the family as the basic social unit where human beings would be created and moulded into people that can fulfil His plans and purposes. #Family

5.Human life goes through a cycle; it starts with dependence – you can’t provide for yourself nor survive alone; Independence – you can meet your needs; Interdependence – cooperate with others to achieve greater things. You form your own family then the cycle continues #Family

6.In the family unit, that dependence phase is important because the family then provides shelter, food, love and so on. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs supports this – the physiological needs to emotional needs #Family
