Rock Solid Radio - Blended Families - How to Make it Work - Episode 224
Episode description
Over half of all families in the US will deal directly with divorce. But once the divorce is settled, people want to move on with their lives. This means forming new relationships, marriages, and families. However, now the work is how do we blend the pre-existing families?
This is a real concern as we see a higher rate of divorce in second marriages than first marriages. Telling us that round two is not necessarily going to be easy. One of the most challenging parts of the blended family is just that, blending well!
During this show Merrill and Linda walk through 7 essential keys that help your new blended family succeed.
1. Slow and Steady
2. Listening
3. Empathy
4. Respect
5. Fair, Firm and Consistent
6. FLEXIBILITY and Grace
7. God's Word
