Peace in the Home is a non-profit organization devoted to healthy family relationships. We exist to strengthen, equip, support, and bring healing to marriages and families.
Peace in the Home serves husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, and men and women preparing for life after the wedding, through churches, schools and other organizations.
WHAT WE DO ...
Everything Peace in the Home does is designed to strengthen the family by enriching the relationships that matter most. We believe when marriages are strengthened, and when parents are invested and emotionally available to their families, wonderful things begin to happen: homes become safer, happier and healthier places, and children inherit a better legacy upon which to build their future relationships.
Core services ...
1. Encourage and equip married couples by speaking on topics relevant to marriage (see our "Couples' Café" event).
2. Encourage and equip married and single parents by speaking on topics relevant to parenting (see our "Growing Children of Character" event).
3. Train married couples to equip, encourage and mentor other couples.
3. Strengthen families with focused gatherings, workshops and retreats on marriage or parenting.
4. Counsel married couples with an integrative approach.
We also ...
5. Facilitate groups that have a healing or supportive purpose (eg. divorce recovery, single parent support, boundaries, divorce prevention)
6. Create new communities of small groups for marriage or parenting.
7. Equip engaged couples to prepare for life AFTER the wedding.
8. Counsel couples who are grieving the loss of a child.
9. Support men and women struggling with, and desiring freedom from unwanted homosexual behaviour.
10. Equip organizations and individuals on the "hot-button" issue of homosexuality.
11. Help parents to understand and resist homosexual activism in their child's school.
WHY WE DO IT ...
1. Healthy marriages don't just happen.
2. Parenting is a high privilege and responsibility.
3. By our nature, we fail at relationships more than we succeed.
4. Marriages, whether healthy or distressed, have multi-generational consequences.
5. Longitudinal research confirms divorce always hurts children.
6. We tend to parent as we were parented.
7. Divorce is a national disaster (emotionally, financially, relationally, statistically).
8. A healthy marriage is the best gift mothers and fathers can model to their children.
9. Healthy marriages are the foundation of a strong and vibrant community.
