Be Deliberate in Family

Trials and hardships threaten the wellbeing of every family, but these moments can be used to effectively strengthen the relationships between family members. Staying together and working through marital difficulties fortifies a relationship and leads to satisfaction. Anyone with a happy marriage most likely went through times of discouragement. These experiences can often bring the couple closer together. It's hard to grow and succeed without first being stretched and tested.

Overcoming these challenges can be especially hard for a blended family. The husband and wife usually both carry baggage and have different expectations which can make the marriage very fragile. One of the most common struggles among these families is trying to develop the relationship between the children and stepparent. Future problems can typically be avoided when clear expectations and guidelines are set beforehand with warmth and kindness. In a blended family, the birth parent should always be the one to conduct all the heavy discipline. As families work together, they can reach the greatest satisfaction by sticking together and relying on each other for support during times of difficulty.
