Colossians 3:19-21

19 Husbands, be sure you give your wives much love and sympathy; don’t let bitterness or resentment spoil your marriage.
20 As for you children, your duty is to obey your parents, for at your age this is one of the best things you can do to show your love for God.
21 Fathers, don’t over-correct your children, or they will grow up feeling inferior and frustrated.
