Ron: Can you imagine at your wedding expressing vows to someone other than your groom or bride?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Maybe you saw the online video that went viral, it includes a groom expressing vows to his bride—and to her daughter. You see, this stepdad-to-be knew that marrying a single parent means marrying the entire package—which in this case, included a young girl.
He promised to play games with her, protect her and love her, teach her to say her prayers and show her how a man should treat a woman by the way he treated her mother. Right from the start this girl was assured of one thing: her stepdad was committed to her even if she didn’t know how to return that commitment to him. We all need to hear that from time to time, stepfamilies included. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
