Enduring Disharmony
I don’t expect you to be happy when someone is unhappy. Disharmony is a natural part of becoming a family. When a wedding forms a stepfamily you really don’t have a family identity. People have different last names and you have to learn how to be a family. That process almost guarantees a little disharmony maybe even a lot. But what’s cool is that working through things actually helps you to become a family. So, when disharmony comes take a deep breath, whisper a prayer, and keep on stepping.
