- As a husband and wife, begin by putting your home in order with a Kingdom view. View your husband as a Sire, King, or a Lord of a great estate. Start with asking your husband “What is his vision for the family?” A few additional basic questions to ask could be:
- 1) Who are you following? How is your authority?
- 2) If we are following that example (Prophets, Scriptures, Christ), would you like in our home the foods, entertainment, amusements, parenting, education etc. to align up the same way?
- 3) What would you like me to do, how can I help you with this vision? Where are we off in this vision?
- 4) How would you like the family to operate?
- 5) If we built a team with our children, what would you like to do with this family team?
- 6) If service is part of the vision, how can we focus outwards?

Share miracles with your children, together learn who God is through His attributes. Immerse your family in Scriptures, or yourself.
