Ron: What happens when your system of money management is paired with pain? Well, nothing good that’s what.

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

Ron: I’m thinking of a guy who insisted on a prenuptial agreement with his second wife. His first wife had an affair, divorced him, and took everything he had. So he certainly didn’t want to go through that again. You see, pain was dictating his behavior and that’s never a good approach to life.

Here’s the deal. The challenge for many stepfamily couples is deciding whether fair will be defined through the lens of pain or hope. The lens of self-preservation or sacrifice. Maybe the answer is in how God loves and provides for you: does he do that sparingly or with overflowing abundance? For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
