The passage is about marriage. The fundamental unit of a family - a God-fearing couple (man and woman).
I always remember asking God for a blessed family and am blessed with one. But having one is easy (for some) but to maintain one needs effort.
Leaving the next generation knowing God needs further effort.
I have been seeking God for first anchoring myself in God and then anchoring my family in God.
Besides knowing God, how then my children fear God and how my children know who are they in God.
The younger ones needs to know who God is and as they get older they learn to fear God and gain the wisdom of God.
How to know God - that is theology? Bible reading - know the existence of God, His power and who Jesus, His intent and purpose for humanity.
Grow - and grow takes time. As such the fundamental of a family unit sets the example for the children to know and learn God. A good marriage sets the example for the children. As such a strong bond between the husband and the wife sets the family going.
