What does the Bible say about building a family?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that unless the Lord builds the house, those who labor do so in vain (Psalm 127:1).

Psalm 127 clearly articulates the vital role of God's sovereignty in building both our homes and the church. The psalmist states, 'Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.' This highlights the necessity of divine involvement in our family structures. Just as the church is described as the house of the living God in 1 Timothy 3:15, our homes should also be established on the grace and mercy of God. As parents and guardians, we must recognize that our efforts are futile without God's guiding hand; we must depend on Him to build a sound and fruitful home.
