You mention some important verses there. With the commandment to honor our mother and father, it also comes with a blessing promise - the only one of the 10 Commandments to do that.

I think if you approach things in humility for God, that love inevitably follows.

Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
