Almighty God is in Charge

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is HE that hath MADE US, and NOT WE OURSELVES; (Psalms 100)

Almighty God Mandated the Man

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN, because she was TAKEN OUT OF MAN. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall CLEAVE UNTO HIS WIFE: and THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH. (Genesis 2)

Almighty God Mandated the Woman

16 UNTO THE WOMAN HE SAID, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and THY DESIRE SHALL BE TO THY HUSBAND, and HE SHALL RULE OVER THEE. (Genesis 3)

22 WIVES, SUBMIT YOURSELVES UNTO YOUR OWN HUSBANDS, as unto the Lord.

Warnings

20 WOE UNTO THEM THAT CALL EVIL GOOD, and good evil; that PUT DARKNESS FOR LIGHT, and light for darkness; that put BITTER FOR SWEET, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are WISE IN THEIR OWN EYES, and prudent in their own sight! (Isaiah 5)

Protect the Innocent and Children

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! (Matthew 18)
