How can parents help to prepare their children for marriage?

The best way to prepare children for marriage is to model a biblical marriage for them. We need to ask ourselves what example are we setting for our children? Do our children see us laying our lives down for our spouse?

Ultimately, our children will be affected by our actions. We will fail at being a good parent. But that shouldn't stop us from trying. We should pray and ask God to help us to be a good spouse and parent to our children. Our children will learn much by observing our own lives.

2 Timothy 3:14-15 (NKJV) - "But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."

I think that the best way to prepare children for marriage is to model a good marriage in front of them. And we struggle in marriage, but what are we setting before our children? Do they see us loving our wives as Christ loved the church? And do my children see me laying down my life for my wife? And do, you know, is my wife submitting not because she has to, but because it's in her heart that she wants to help me succeed?

I think it starts there with really how we model it because ultimately our children are going to become like us and even if they don't want to they will become like us and so we need to set it before them. I think that's and we fail. I fail at that and so but to continually keep working on that and even in our failures to be able to say, now here's a better way to do this, or this is the way we ought to do this. And again, asking forgiveness when we fail often, I think it's really, and praying, and asking God to help us, And then showing the biblical model from scripture, teaching that and preparing them for that, to be a good help made, to be a good head of the home as someone who knows how to shepherd the flock at home. I think the best, it's not so much what we teach them, what we tell them, but what is caught by them observing our own lives.
