When one reads Proverbs I1-7, one realises how concerned Solomon was for his son, that he wrote down instructions on how to live a wise and godly life through the help of Father God.

In reading the Beatitudes one learns to live peacably, and in peace with one another and with Father God and His son Jesus in accordance with the civil and moral law and the commandment that are to be found in Exodus 20:3-17,and in various otherplaces in Leviticus and Deuteronomy especially, and through the teaching etc of the prophets as well as that which is mention and teaching of Father Gods son Jesus as recorded in the Gospels, that can be lived out in lovely ways with Father Gods help, and some of which are  found in the various epistles (letters)which are also  instructional and common to all (though some of the instuctions are more in keeping of the times and culture, in which they had been wriiten, and personal to both the authors and the recipients of the letters); that blesses those close and dear to one and further afield.

In Ephians 5:25 Paul is instucting the menfolk to love their wives.

Ephians 5:25 :- 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

 This does'n't mean loving as one would understand loving in todays world, but in practical ways as Jesus loved His disciples and others too, with a godly and loving spirit of which some of the ways are personal between a man and his wife that is loving and respectful etc. that blesses one and another, and extends and spreads out to those close and dear ones heart in caring, providing and protecting etc. through the loving help of Father God, as seen through Father Gods care provision and protection of the Israelites as they journeyed from Egypt and through the desert to the promised land as recorded in Exodus to Deuteronomy, that not only blesses one another as husband and wife and those close and dear to one but those blessings are as a consequence extend and spread out to those further afield, for example ones neighbors and those with whom one interacts on a daily basis in various and practical in lovley  ways and as mentioned even further afield through the love and care and help of Father God through all that Jesus Father God's son has accomplished on our behalf though His life ministry and teaching  and in giving His life as a sacifice on the cross at Calvery, and His subsequent resurrection and ascenion after which the Holy Spirit was given as recorded in Acts 2:1-

Acts 2:13:- 

2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

The Holy Spirit was given after the ressurection of Jesus  to be a comfort and help etc. as recorded in John 14-16, especially 14:16:-

John 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:25 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

and in John 16:13-15:-

John 16:13-15 

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

Apart from the Holy Spirit  given to help one to continue the ministry and teaching of Jesus as recorded in  the Gospels after His resurrection, The Holy Spirit was also given to those close and dear to one and further afield in many and various ways as mentioned in the law the Psalms, the prophets and the ministry and teaching of Jesus and encouraged through the various  Epistles (letters) in lovely ways through the love and care of Father God in leading and guiding in very practicle ways as a shepherd cares for their flock especially in the middle east.

Note :-

Bearing in mind that some of the love and care and respect etc. is also personal between a husband their wife that through that love care and respect etc. spills  over into blessing those close and dear to them and further afield.
