What are parents modeling for their children on a daily basis?

Clarence Simmons explains in this video that children in the home need to know that their parents love each other and how important that relationships is. Children will learn a lot about how a husband and wife or a father and mother interact from what they see modeled by their parents.

One thing we as parents ought to strive for to teach our children is to love and serve each other. Marriage isn't about getting what you want but how you can serve the other. We ought to model that to our children and encourage them to love and serve others inside and outside the home.

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) - "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."

I think one thing in the home is that the children need to know that mommy loved daddy and daddy loves mommy. And they need to know how important that relationship is before them. I tell our children, we were at this before you came and we will be at this when you're long gone. And so that's one of the things they have to see because the children will learn husband-wife relationship, father-mother relationship primarily from their parents. And so you have to model that before them, living in the scriptures, when they see you sin, let them see you repent.

And in the relationship between, you know, siblings and siblings, you just still got to, you know, lay it down from the Word of God because naturally we're selfish. And so you have to teach that self denying way, that humble way, that giving of yourself way, that serving way to even your children. And that practicing of that is in the home as well as outside of the home. And if they don't learn that within the realm of the home, not saying they can't learn it outside the home, but you run into more difficulty trying to do something that you've never learned in the context of the home.
