That's the fifth commandment of the Ten Commandments. It simply means that you give them the respect that is due to the two people who gave you life. Some parents are far from what God intended them to be, and while it may be difficult to "respect" them because of that, God still expects us to "honor" them. As children, we are expected to obey them as long as doing so doesn't mean disobeying the other commandments. We must obey God first. As adults, we are to make sure that whatever comfort and provision our parents need for their sustanance is provided according to our ability. God doesn't tell us to "love" them, but I think "honor" also means to be kind and not to bad-mouth them, taking into consideration that though they were not perfect, they may have been doing the best with what they had to work with. And it comes with a reward.....the rest of the commandment says, "...that your days may be long upon the land the Lord your God gives you."

This commandment obliges the faithful to show respect for their parents as children and adults. Children must obey their parents. Adults must look after their parents when they become ill.
