4 Things I Didn’t Know About Blended Families

A blended family . . .

• Is not a cohesive group.
• Is combustive, exhaustive and difficult.
• The husband and wife don’t cease to be single parents.
• Takes a lot of prayer, humility, desire and perseverance to make it work.

Is this true?

Surely not. Surely blended families aren’t that much different than same parent families. Surely this isn’t the norm! I heard the above from the video in today’s DivorceCare class. I’ve also heard this from friends who are in blended marriages.

I have been ignorant about the dynamics of blended families. I have given poor counsel. Lord, help me to be a more faithful pray-er for those in such situations.

Please, take a moment right now and pray as well.
