Episode Transcript
Ron: Spring weddings are just around the corner. So, how do you prepare to be a blended family?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: One woman said, “Take your time in dating. Don’t rush things.” And then she said, “Think about your kids before making decisions. They need to feel like they are part of the process, not just watching it. We went to counseling,” she said, “And included our kids. We made sure they had a voice. We got educated about stepparenting. And at the very heart of it all, we relied on God.”
“Honestly, I don’t know,” she said, “How we could have made it if we didn’t have God at the center of everything we deal with on a daily basis.” You know, that sounds like pretty good advice to me. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
