All time allocation, relational stewardship, and counsel must enforce this strict jurisdictional order:
God > Household (Spouse > Children > Origin) > Ergon > Diakonia > Self
- The Covenant Constraint: The marital covenant is the bedrock of the domestic church. Prioritizing children over the spouse corrupts household governance, turns marriages lukewarm, and destabilizes the home. Children are arrows trained to be launched; the spouse is permanent one-flesh covenant.
