Christian beliefs about family
God instigated family, thus it is very important
The family is a place of love and children should be raised in a love filled enviroment
anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever
Honour your father and mother
There are examples of polygamy in the bible, and there was a law that protected inheritance rights of the first born child
One focused point of a christian family that separated it is the parents teaching the child to love thy neighbour
Polygamous marriages cannot be performed in Britain as they are illegal
However, Christians believe that the ideal marriage or one man and one woman for life was created at the beginning
Paul makes it clear that each man should have his own wife and each women should have her own husband to avoid sexual immorality
