Honoring means going beyond what is expected, going out of your way to make the person you are honoring feel loved and appreciated. Love, love, respect, respect, forgive, forgive.
"Honor they father and mother..." (Deut. 5:6). The family is the germ of society, and the family is sustained only as the authority and rule of the heads of the household are upheld and respected. The command, then, to honor parents may be justly regarded as asserting the foundation of all social ordinances and arrangements. Where parents are not honored, a flaw lies at the basis, and the stability of the entire social fabric is endangered.
Many passages in the Word of God speak or refer to the duty of children to their parents. It is worthy of careful noting, that when God would launch forth into the world a new national life, he lays great stress on the recognition of and regard to family sacredness. This is a moral code for the nation and the world for all time to be laid down in the list of the ten commandments: immediately after the honor of God there is the commandment, "Honor they father and they mother." Implicit obedience is a child's first duty.

This is a site where we all want to impart "grace unto the hearer"(Eph.4:29). Let us not attack each other but admonish with love, if we must rebuke a fellow believer. Also keep in mind I would appreciate no improper language or phrases.
Thank you for sharing your opinions with us.
God bless you,
