Answer 1

According to Paul's teachings about children's relationships with their parents, the Bible tells all children to "obey your parents in the Lord," because this is right in God's sight. It means that God wants all children to honor and obey their parents. It is also found in the old testament where God has included this command in the Ten Commandments given to Moses through a list of things that God wants and hates. It's the fifth command in Exodus 20:12 asking children to obey their parents.

It is of great importance for me to obey my parents as this is a sign that one respects the commands of God and its a source of blessing from God.

To improve a relationship with my parents is by being obedient to my parents and the teachings of God.
