True Wellness

If wellness requires us to complete a marathon at 100 years old, most of us won’t make it.

The blessings that took place in my life after tragedy gave me hope and reminded me that there was someone larger than this life who is in control.

Sometimes the futility of life strikes hard and we’re forced to look for the hidden treasures.

Too many men over 55 think their best days are behind them. It’s time to resurrect the noble mantle of “patriarch.”

I learned more than rhythm while taking dancing lessons with my husband.

Part of our passion is encouraging couples to determine how God can use them after their children leave the nest.

Adjusting to a new reality can be an especially difficult task.

A couple can either move toward the death of their relationship, or look forward to what this new season of marriage has to offer.

When you define your identity vertically, you will be able to stand even when the things around you are passing away.

The older we grow, the more our bodies deteriorate. And that’s not necessarily bad.

Learning to be content with enough.

How do we, as parents, dream new dreams for our children when we have no idea what the future holds?

Helping adult stepchildren transition into a stepfamily

I have been challenged by Kathy Helvey’s life and legacy.

Christian stepfamily adults are often caught in a holding pattern around God and His church, unable to touch down in His love.

While attempting to combine a new stepfamily, John and Diane were once again trying to accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ.  Only their church wouldn’t accept them.

If churches are going to remain strong, they must intentionally work to build smart stepfamilies.

FamilyLife Blended™ is passionate about helping stepfamilies succeed.
