La Prioridad del Matrimonio

By |2025-03-05T23:01:26-07:00February 13th, 2025|Español|

Tener una familia sana y próspera comienza con un matrimonio sano. Aparte de su relación con el Señor, creemos que la relación matrimonial debe ser la máxima prioridad dentro de la estructura familiar... ¡Incluso antes que nuestros hijos! En la sociedad actual, existe una presión constante para poner a nuestros hijos primero por encima  de TODO lo  demás en el entorno familiar.  Esta priorización equivocada puede, en última instancia, conducir a la crianza centrada en [...]

The Marriage Priority

By |2025-02-05T11:33:43-07:00February 9th, 2025|Letters, Marriage, Relationship|

Having a healthy and thriving family begins with a healthy marriage. Other than your relationship with the Lord, we believe that the marriage relationship should be the top priority within the family structure… even before our kids! In today’s society, there is constant pressure to put our children first above EVERYTHING else in the family environment.  This misguided prioritization can ultimately lead to child-centered parenting and even divorce.  Don’t get us wrong.  Our children are [...]

El Principio Imperfecto

By |2025-01-30T11:43:48-07:00January 30th, 2025|Español|

A lo largo de los años, hemos tomado muchos cursos y asistido a muchas conferencias sobre el matrimonio, la crianza de los hijos y las relaciones.  Nos encanta ir a estos eventos porque siempre salimos con nuevas ideas y consejos, así como recordatorios de cosas que hemos dejado pasar o que hemos olvidado a lo largo de los años.  Sin embargo, parece que por muy emocionados o recargados que estemos con estos acontecimientos, hemos descubierto [...]

The Imperfect Principle

By |2025-01-17T14:27:21-07:00January 26th, 2025|Family Culture, Letters, Relationship|

Over the years, we have taken many courses and attended many conferences on marriage, parenting, and relationships.  We love going to these events because we always come away with some new ideas and tips, as well as reminders of things we’ve let slide or have forgotten about over the years.  However, it seems that no matter how excited or recharged we get from these events, we’ve found that after a few months go by, our [...]

El Mundo Privado de su Hijo

By |2025-01-30T11:34:33-07:00January 21st, 2025|Español|

Una de las mayores alegrías de la crianza es cuando tu hijo te deja entrar en su mundo privado. ¿Qué es el mundo privado?  En términos generales, es un lugar especial donde todos tenemos pensamientos más profundos, atesoramos recuerdos y nos sentimos más vulnerables. Es la esencia de lo que somos. El mundo privado es lo que compartimos con nuestro cónyuge y solo con nuestros amigos más cercanos y de mayor confianza. A medida que [...]

Your Child’s Private World

By |2025-01-15T14:59:54-07:00January 19th, 2025|Letters, Parenting, Personal|

One of the greatest parenting joys is when your child lets you into their private world. What is the private world?  Generally speaking, it is a special place where we all hold deeper thoughts, treasured memories, and feel the most vulnerable. It is the essence of who we are. The private world is what we share with our spouse and only our most trusted and closest friends. As our children grow and develop their sense [...]

A successful parenting journey requires consistency, patience, and resolve. Yet the journey is often filled with frustration, anxiety, and, at times, hopelessness even when we are trying to do our best. Thankfully, there are those moments that can unexpectedly encourage and sustain us in the process! Recently, we were reminded of a heartwarming story shared by friends and OneFamily parents. This story beautifully illustrates one of those unexpected moments when parents receive affirmation that their [...]
