The family plays a decisive role in modern society, being a model of love in three different aspects:
love for children;
love between husband and wife;
love in promoting moral values.
As adults, we need to see patterns of things that are important in our lives, especially in the relationship between children and parents. Children learn about the world by observing the patterns of behavior of others.

The family functions in the same way. For example, children who see their parents abuse alcohol or abuse each other repeat these actions. The role of the family in modern society is to create a good and correct model of behavior. The Bible teaches us that an earthly father should be an earthly example of a heavenly Father. An earthly father should be a living example of patience and kindness, showing love in relation to his children.
