Inherent in heeding the command to honor parents is the promise: “That it may go well with you and you may endure a long time on the earth.” This is because parents generally want good, not bad, to come to their children. Despite their weaknesses and imperfections, most parents try to do what they can to help their offspring to avoid injury. Acting in harmony with parental, instruction, children can spare themselves untold pain. Generally, obedience to parental counsel would result in one’s shunning sexual immorality, drunkenness, the taking of drugs and other practices that can lead to great harm and perhaps even premature death.
