Lesson 1

Q: What is the secret to building a safe haven?

First of all, what is a safe haven? According to Merriam Webster, it’s a 1 :harbor, port, 2 :a place of safety : refuge, 3 :a place offering favorable opportunities or conditions. 

In this case, it’s a place where you are protected or guarded from outside pressures, where you are encouraged to learn and grow in a healthy, loving environment, and where you can express your thoughts and/or emotions without being ridiculed or humiliated. One quick example of this is when I taught Bible class at a local congregation. I told my class that our classroom was a safe haven, because each person was allowed to ask questions or make comments, but the rest of the class was not allowed to laugh at them or make unkind comments toward them. We were to listen to and treat each other with respect. It made it easier to enjoy learning, and they were able to leave the outside world behind during that period of time.

So, how can you create a safe haven for your family? 

A: Here are some ideas:

  • Pay attention to your husband’s needs, as well as your children’s, and meet those needs as soon as possible. You can only do this by observing their behavior, because they probably won’t tell you outright what’s wrong.
  • Create an atmosphere of peacefulness by having a variety of music playing throughout the day, singing spiritual songs with your family, teaching your kids to play an instrument and singing along while they play. 
  • Be available to talk whenever your family comes home from any outside event. Show that you are interested in them by taking time to discuss any problems that they may be experiencing.
  • Be aware of what songs are being played in the car/house or through their headphones (the lyrics, even the type of music). Be alert to the TV shows and commercial that are coming across your screen. Even if it seems like no one is paying attention, the bad, negative thoughts and worldly jingles are still impacting them.
  • Respect their privacy, but let them know that you will be in their room, on their computer, on their phone, etc. Staying in their room with the door closed for long periods of time is never a good thing. Obviously, they need to change clothes in private, but, other than that, their door should not be locked or closed. It just makes it too easy to let temptation take hold.  
  • Pray for them and over them. Pray before they leave the house and when they return. Pray with them before they go to bed and for them after they fall asleep. Pray for your own wisdom in developing healthy relationships with your husband and each of your children.
