Ron: I watched one fail; I watched one succeed.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: “My parents divorced when I was 11,” the blogger explained. “It shattered my world and changed everything. My mom’s remarriage was hard to accept at first, but this blended family has become very special to me. And my mom’s marriage taught me that love can last. I watched one marriage fail; I watched one marriage succeed.”

You know, children of divorce don’t want to repeat the past. Sometimes they lose faith in the institution of marriage, but a healthy stepfamily marriage can change that—it can restore faith in God’s design for the family. Striving for a healthy marriage changes the world, changes your legacy. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
