       For those who are not leaders, Paul said we are to imitate our leaders, so that would include doing what they do. One of the areas of managing children includes the time that is spent with the children’s extracurricular activities and things the children want to do. Children have to learn to be submissive to their fathers, just like the wife is to be submissive to her husband. Again, this is something that in American society today may be very foreign to many. The proper order that we find in the New Testament is this: first God, second spouse, and third children. Our society, here in America, has it like this: you are God, the children are second, and your spouse is third with an excess time that you have. That’s completely backward. And that’s why we see so many families in chaos with so many problems. God’s way is always the correct way. And his way brings about truly fulfilling life, life that includes success, joy, and happiness.
