When husbands and wives get together, they typically make babies. These children are to honor their father and mother, this being the first commandment with a promise. The idea is not to restrain you and cause you pain, but for your wellbeing. Since they are to obey, father should raise them properly in the Lord, not provoking them to anger.
Another relation that exists is the relationship between slaves and their masters. Just because slaves are free in Christ doesn't mean they can just disobey their masters now. They are to obey their masters and to do so with an honest heart. The opposite of this would be doing so grudgingly or merely for show and not from a sincere desire. Slaves are to obey their masters and so masters should also act accordingly, not being harsh with them. Apparently, good done to others will be received back from the Lord, so slaves should treat their masters well and masters should treat their slaves well in light of this fact. Regardless of your position, both masters and slaves are slaves to God.
