What is the promise attached to honoring one's parents?

Answered in 1 source

The promise is that it may go well with you and that you may live long on the earth.

Ephesians 6:2-3 outlines a specific promise for those who honor their parents: they will experience well-being and long life on the earth. This is not merely a general blessing but highlights the importance of family relationships as established by God. By honoring parents, children align themselves with God's order and receive the consequences of such behavior—protection, stability, and the potential for rich, fulfilling lives. This promise underscores the divine favor that accompanies obedience to God's commands in family structures.
