What does a thriving family look like? Certainly, there are many answers to this question, but we believe at the heart of a thriving family is a healthy marriage and effective parenting. It is an encouraging home environment where children are flourishing with everyone feeling emotionally and spiritually fulfilled in each other’s company.

Our marriage and family life is definitely not “Perfect.” Yet, our home life is characterized by our efforts toward being the best husband/father and wife/mother we can be. That means equipping ourselves with practical resources, encouraging one another with love when we are not at our best, and sustaining each other in our marriage and parenting journey.

OneFamily Impacting Families

With OneFamily, we are able to come alongside families to help them navigate their marriage and parenting journeys; helping them to succeed and thrive!

“We’ve taken many classes through OneFamily and they have helped us tremendously. This type of investment is GOLD! It’s a time investment that is WORTH every minute. Kids really can be better behaved, have more positive attitudes, contribute to the family more, and be happier. We’ve seen it happen.

Most recently, as a Mom, I’ve taken advantage of their one-on-one mentoring/coaching. This has allowed me to address specific issues with specific kids. Issues like:

    • What do I do when my 1 and 3 year old used dry erase marker all over our bathroom?
    • What do I do about name calling and sibling fighting?
    • How do I handle lying? … And on and on!
We aren’t born knowing all the right answers on how to raise children. Just doing what we think is best or following what other parents do in difficult parenting situations doesn’t always work. We urge you to take the time to reach out to OneFamily. What they are doing to invest in parents and families is unique and important. We support One Family because they are meeting a huge need with families.”
– Dawn & Kent Lietzau, 4 children ages 2-10
