God Breathes on Blended Families
We recognize that when two people marry, they always expect to live happily ever after. For first time marriages, the success rate is near 50%. However, for second or third marriages with children, or when one person marries a spouse with children, the statistics change dramatically. “Conservative” statistics also show that the divorce rate of remarriages exceeds 60%. Part of the reason for the high rate is that most struggling stepfamilies who divorce quit within the first 4 years – before their family has had time to blend. In God Breathes on Blended Families, Dax and Melanie Bradley will discuss the problem areas that only blended families face- problems they have faced – and with God’s truth, every family can overcome:
- Both parent and stepparent do not treat children in the blended family equally.
- Many stepparents find it difficult to love their stepchild or stepchildren.
- The children are not accepting of the new “parental authority” in the home.
- Discipline from a stepparent usually results in frustration, opposition, and disrespect.
- The new home has two sets of rules, and two types of discipline.
- Children have two homes, with two sets of rules and different methods of discipline.
- Extended families do not always accept the new spouse or the stepchildren.
