Shalom.
The Fifth Commandment is to Honor your Father and Mother, Children Obey Your Parents in יהוה (Hebrew is read from right to left, this is YHVH or Yahveh, the name of God) for this is right (or, for this is the right thing to do).
That it would / will go well with you. That you would have a long life. It is the first commandment with a promise.
How do you understand this commandment? Do you obey God in regard to this commandment?
When I asked someone about the Ten Commandments recently, and they responded about the commandment against adultery, the next commandment that was mentioned was this commandment, to Honor your Father and your Mother. We did not discuss it. However, I believe that it was a great thing to bring up. There is much value and joy in talking about this commandment.
If times have ever been tough, trying, or difficult for you, your parents are the ones who gave you life, birth, as God would so have it and desire for you. Love them the way God wants you to. Honor them. Obey them in the LORD (the LORD is translated from the Hebrew, YHVH, Yahveh, יהוה). Obey God. Obey your parents.
Fathers, Mothers, bring your children up in the training and admonition of the LORD (יהוה, Yahveh).
May you serve the one true God, love Him, and love your neighbor as yourself.
Shalom.
Jacob
