“Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another” (Romans 12:10).

What does it mean to prefer one another?

Does it simply mean to like one person better than another person? Well, in a sense it does. The Greek word means “to go before and show the way, to go before and lead.” And if it’s your goal to have peace and harmony in your home then someone is going to have to lead and take the initiative if that conflict is going to get resolved.

Think about it, if husband and wife just sit across from each other like two stubborn mules, nothing is ever going to get resolved.

At the heart of this principle is a character quality that is absolutely essential if you are going to have harmony in your home. It’s the character quality of meekness.

One of the greatest marks of spiritual maturity is a person’s willingness to set aside his own rights in order to accommodate the wishes of others. The mark of maturity and spiritual strength is not getting into a fight; it is staying out of one. We should never back down or compromise on Truth; but if it’s just something personal, be willing and prepared to give it up!

And if you can teach your children this principle, you will be strengthening their future marriage and relationships. You will be helping to ensure they have harmony in their home and you will be protecting their future marriage from the tragedy of divorce.

Mom and Dad, if someone is sitting in your favorite chair, don’t get angry, just give in and go sit somewhere else.

Brothers and sisters, if someone takes something belonging to you, or if someone is fighting over who can have the biggest piece of dessert, just be willing to give in and let them have it.

Look for ways to avoid conflicts. Don’t allow yourself to be drawn into one. It takes a person who understands the high value of relationships to give in, rather than to demand their rights. The person that gives in may be thought of as weaker, but in reality he is the stronger.

No doubt, there will be opportunities to put this into practice in your home today. Welcome these opportunities and embrace them as occasions to learn and grow in Christian character.
