The ideal home should be a haven of tranquility, not stress. Each family member should feel warmth, security, acceptance and love. We want our husbands to feel that even if his boss yelled at him, or his project fell through, that at home he is loved and respected. This can be accomplished, even when you need to give constructive criticism.

These Shalom Bayit Thoughts are geared for the average couple, who has typical issues that are not "off the chart." If you are in a situation involving mental illness or abuse, please seek professional help.
