Research now confirms that a healthy stepfamily not only prevents another divorce in a child's life, but it gives them a healthy marriage model that equips them for marriage as adults. In other words, after divorce, a strong, stable, healthy stepfamily lowers the divorce rate in this generation and the next. It reverses the curse. What Satan tries to destroy through divorce, God can take back in just one generation. And that 'good news' is why we do what we do.
