Remember when we talked about the so-called “singles crisis” in the last issue? Well, grab your favorite drink and a notepad because we’re diving deeper into solutions. As someone who’s been-there-done-that, and now coaches others through it, I’d like to share some insights that might just be a game changer for you or someone you love.

Family Stability: It Starts at Home

You know how they say charity begins at home? Well, so does a healthy view of marriage. The answer to family instability isn’t just about fixing broken homes – it’s about building inspiring ones. If you’re married, please realize: Your kids are watching. They’re not just passive observers; they’re future relationship architects, taking notes on your blueprint. If you don’t enjoy being married, why should they?

What can we do? Work on your marriage. Build the kind of home and relationship that your children will want to emulate. When they see that deep connection, that spark of joy between you and your spouse, the respectful way in which you speak to one another during disagreements, they’ll want to create it for themselves. You are planting seeds that will grow into their future (hopefully healthy) relationships.
