 I also wrote the 2020 three-time national award-winning marriage book, Simple Habits for Marital Happiness.  This complete marriage manual is the only resource that provides specific effective words, behaviors, and knowledge in the seven main areas of marriage

MEALTIMES MAKE A MARVELOUS DIFFERENCE FOR A CHILD!!!

The most underrated and least talked about parenting essential is family mealtimes at the table. In my opinion, parent-child mealtimes together are probably one of the most significant influential parenting habits because eating together makes a tremendous impact on a child in so many ways.  Please realize mealtimes are for enjoyment, modeling manners, at times lovingly encouraging eating etiquette, and not continually correcting your child.

When a child is struggling behaviorally or academically, I have found most of the time meals are not eaten together as a family. I hear reports that each family member eats nearly every meal in a different part of the house--bedroom, living room in front of the television, the basement, BUT not together.

When family members start eating together and applying the following 10 goals, I have amazingly witnessed positive family life improvement as well as a child’s behavior becoming more responsible.

This is an excerpt from Chapter 2 of Simple Habits for Effective Parenting:  Specific Skills and Tools That Achieve Extraordinary Results in Raising a Child.  This comprehensive guidebook is the only resource that covers all seven key areas of parenting for leading and guiding a child to be a responsible, motivated, and confident individual. 

This past July I joined Jim Daly, President, and John Fuller, VP, for an interview on a national broadcast of Focus on the Family to discuss Effective Parenting.  This interview may be watched on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMU7pE_MagI Please also share this Focus on the Family interview with family and friends.

GODLY CHARACTER AND GOOD CHOICES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR EVERY CHILD!!!

A healthy parent-child relationship is built through nurture, laughter, memories, respect, and when necessary, corrective discipline.  Through a strong relationship, an effective parent communicates through words and actions a deep desire for child to develop positive qualities and Godly character to help a child make wise choices throughout their entire life. 

An excellent goal for every parent is to daily praise either a positive attribute within a child or a specific action a child did that was meaningful.  Always use the words, “I appreciate . . .”  Praise creates positive energy within a child!

TO IMPROVE RELATIONSHIPS: MAKE REQUESTS, DO NOT JUST COMPLAIN!

To improve your relationships, ask for verbal or behavior changes.  Complaining and criticizing do not make a positive difference in any relationship.  Instead, make a request in the form of a question with “Will you please . . .”  followed by a solution. 

Complaining and criticizing are easy but it takes courage to ask for what is wanted or expected in order to create a solid connection.  Always take action with requests because that is seeking solutions for a stronger bond.  Make “Will you please . . .” a regular part of your relationship vocabulary.

COMMUNICATE YOUR ENCOURAGING MARRIAGE DREAMS!!!

Dreaming together can make a significant positive difference for your relationship.  As a couple, one way to have fun constructive dreaming is to complete this sentence, “It will be really great when . . . “  By stating a beneficial dream in this manner, you confidently believe that the goal is going to happen, it is just a matter of when.

Use that sentence with five important areas for a marriage: communication, time together, physical affection, sexual intimacy, and faith. 

In terms of communication, “It will be really great when . . .”

In terms of time together, “It will be really great when . . .”

In terms of physical affection, “It will be really great when . . .”

In terms of sexual intimacy, “It will be really great when . . .”

In terms of growing in our faith, “It will be really great when . . .”

When both of you implement this enrichment exercise, you will absolutely improve and strengthen your relationship!  Within the next several days, take action for the sake of your marriage by doing this beneficial exercise!
