Episode Transcript

Ron: Sometimes, the road to marital happiness is a lot longer than you thought.

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

Ron: Nearly every newly-wed couple experiences some discouragement on their way to happily ever after. In stepfamily couples, the pre-marriage fantasy of marital peace and harmony usually doesn’t become reality for five or more years because it takes the family about that long to figure out how to be a family. Merging people and cultures just takes a while. That’s why I like to joke that for stepfamily couples, the honeymoon comes at the end of the journey, not at the beginning.

Yes, the road to the honeymoon—or maybe I should say “family-moon”—may be longer than you thought, but, boy, is it worth it. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
