Honoring Parents vs. Obedience | S2E27 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

In this powerful episode of Beyond I Do, we explore the delicate balance between honoring our parents and establishing healthy boundaries in our relationships. The key spiritual lesson here is that honor doesn't mean blind obedience or allowing disrespect. We're reminded of the commandment to 'Honor your father and mother' (Exodus 20:12), but we also see how this principle evolves as we grow into adulthood and form our own families.The conversation draws interesting parallels between our relationships with our earthly parents and our relationship with God - both require respect, open communication, and sometimes difficult conversations. As we navigate these complex family dynamics, we're encouraged to seek unity, practice forgiveness, and prioritize our spouse and children while still maintaining loving connections with our parents.👉 Subscribe for more real conversations on faith, love, and marriage.🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Beyond I Do.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?
