Growing Relationships at Home
One of a mother’s primary, never-ending, sometimes hair-pulling jobs is nurturing the relationships in the home. In the big picture, few things are more important in life than relationships. Here are some practical ideas to inspire you:
- Help your children develop the habit of kindness.
- Be deliberate about spending time together.
- Just because strife is normal, don’t allow it to be acceptable.
- Help them learn to be friends.
- Conquer the Me-Monster.
- Work on raising grateful children.
- Become a better mother.
- Develop family teamwork.
- Become a kinder wife.
- Know your sheep and parent your children as individuals.
- Use the words of warfare.
- Guard and grow your marriage.

Just wanted to say “thank you”. With tears in my eyes I am glad I am not “alone” in my thoughts. While I know through the Word I am never alone, satan wants us to think differently. I found your sight on Sunday morning before church searching about “no children’s church”.
I am thankful for John Piper and love that you sourced his thoughts. I continue to pray and will be lead by my husband. I have felt an increasing call to have our children with us at church. It is amazing how much more a husband will receive views after prayers. He enjoyed your website. I also enjoy your creative thoughts paralleling the Proverbs 31 woman! God is good- all the time!
