Parents sometimes wonder why, when they have done so many positive things, their children rebel. A husband or wife, filled with love for his or her mate, is often shocked that something serious is wrong in their relationship. The Bible is filled with positive commands that are important commands. But the weightiest commands are the negative commands. Adam and Eve broke one negative command and plunged the world into sin. Lot’s wife broke one negative command and became a pillar of salt. The un-named prophet broke God’s negative command and a lion killed him. A parent may keep all the positive commands and yet have a child who rebels because the parent breaks the most important command in the Bible to parents: “Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath.” God’s weightiest command to husbands is, “be not bitter against [your wives].” Husbands and wives are both negatively commanded: “Defraud ye not one the other. . .”
