Children owe their parents one thing.
And no, it's not love (although believers are also commanded to love one another).
The Fifth Commandment understands that sometimes it's difficult or even impossible to love your parents. But God says to honor them.
Old Testament
"Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
New Testament
"Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
In this five-minute video Dennis Prager explains what this commandment means and why it's so important.
