1. Obeying and showing respect have benefits!

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and your mother,' which is the first commandment with promise: 'that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth'" (Ephesians 6:1-3). (As they say on Star Trek, live long and prosper.)

2. Take constructive correction positively—because it can be a sign your dad loves you.

"My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction; for whom the Lord loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights" (Proverbs 3:11-12).

3. Make your dad glad by doing right and making wise choices.

"The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise child will delight in him" (Proverbs 23:24).
