Home improvement is more popular than ever.
Well, for a lot of you, anyway. I have to be honest. Home renovation scares the daylights out of me. To say I don’t have an aptitude for it is an understatement.
A few years ago, Jean and I had a contractor come to our home to assess some water damage. Water got inside one of our window wells after the cover peeled away. The guy looked things over and said, “This is a simple fix. You could make it a weekend DIY project.”
I nodded at the guy, but later I had to go inside the house and ask Jean, “What does DIY mean?”
That’s embarrassing to admit, but I know I’m not alone. A lot of couples scratch their heads in confusion when someone suggests that their family relationships could benefit from a DIY renovation.
Drs. Gary Chapman and Sharon Warden are with us on our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Tips for building a Healthy Family” to share about how you can approach your marriage and parenting like a do-it-yourself project that infuses kindness, love, forgiveness, and fun into your marriage and parenting relationships.
