While the spirit of love should pervade the household, it is the duty of parents not to be ruled, but to rule. All under the roof should respect the parental discipline. The law of the household should be held sacred. Parents should bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. By their own example they should lead the way to Heaven. The father, as priest of the household, should explain and enforce the word of God. Let the children be taught to honor and obey their parents, that they may also learn to honor and obey their Heavenly Father. Parents stand in God's place to their little ones. When fathers and mothers realize this, they will find at home a field wherein to exercise their powers for the accomplishment of great good.

Så længe kærlighedens ånd hersker i hjemmet, er det forældrenes pligt at ikke blive hersket, men at herske. Alle under taget bør respektere forældrenes disciplin. Hjemmets love bør holdes hellige. Forældrene bør opdrage deres børn i Herrens oplæring og formaning. Ved deres eget eksempel bør de lede vejen til himlen. Som hjemmets præst, bør Faderen forklare og gennemtvinge Guds ord. Lad børnene blive oplært til at ære og adlyde deres forældre, så de også kan lære at ære og adlyde deres Himmelske Fader. For de små står forældre i Guds sted. Når fædre og mødre indser dette, vil de hjemme finde et område hvor deres kræfter kan udøve et meget godt arbejde.
