Blending families after divorce or loss isn’t easy. So many in the world today are trying to blend and mesh their families together. This can be such a difficult process, leading to stress and discord among the family. On this week’s episode of Embracing Your Season with Paige Clingenpeel, she has Paul and Jeanette Savage who are authors of the book, Blended: Navigating the Challenges and Joys of a Stepfamily. They share how the vision of the book came about and their own stories and experiences of blending their families together.
Takeaways:
- Don’t force relationships to happen - Take your time and have those hard conversations, be patient with our kids as they navigate a relationship with the other adult. This helps build the foundations for success in blended families.
- Build experiences - Go camping, vacation together, have games nights or a picnic. These experiences help bond relationships, help them learn more about each other, and create some pretty fun stories.
- Go through therapy - Work through issues and hurt from your past relationships before starting a new one. Relationships can never fulfill you in the way that God can. Counseling can be beneficial not only for yourself but also for your family. It changes the way you parent and partner with your spouse in navigating the blended family.
