Answer
Thank you for writing, Jessie.  The verse you're thinking about I believe is Ephesians 6:4 "and ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath; but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."  
   Ephesians 5:25 says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it."  There is more in that chapter and in the next one about the family, as well as about other relationships.
   Here are a couple of good websites to look up verses.  www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?language=english

I have time for you. The Bible has been my guiding light for most of the 56 years of my life. My missionary parents in Brazil kindled a love for God`s Word by their example and their love for truth. The Lord has blessed my husband and me with responsible, independent children who love and serve the Lord and are our best friends. I would enjoy discussing any subject or problem from a Biblical perspective.
