At home, the mind becomes a very important partner in practicing the dhamma. 

How skilful do we become at clearing the mind when it is confused; and when it’s clear, how long can we maintain that clarity?

When we can maintain that clarity, it means that we’re maintaining the samadhi, and maintaining the samadhi means that immediately less unwholesome qualities are surfacing or that less unwholesome qualities are able to overwhelm us; and that means that the mind is able to maintain its clarity and stability.

So, our first challenge at home is learning how to be skillful at clearing the confusion or the complications in the mind when they come up at home.
