You, me, them, us, yours, mine, and ours. Why can’t we work together?
If you’re in a blended family and are feeling overwhelmed you are not alone. Blended families now outnumber traditional families in the United States. And based on current divorce statistics and trends, their numbers are likely to grow exponentially. Blended families face a host of unique challenges that the traditional family can’t begin to comprehend. Resentments can abound. While attempting to bond with new spouses, husbands and wives are possibly dealing with child visitation and scheduling, shifts in household composition, different values, different lifestyles, and different forms of discipline, as well as the influences of ex-spouses and non-custodial parents – and so on, and so on. These and other pressures are the reason that over 60% of second marriages end in divorce. But God intends something so much better for you. Fortunately the Bible has practical guidelines for resolving conflict and fostering teamwork. God can help every member find complete fulfillment in your blended family. He has a special grace for those starting life anew.
