Ron: You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to guess that having fun together as a couple is good for your marriage. And you’d be right!

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

Ron: I have some friends who met on the tennis court. Ty and Andrea secretly watched each other play in a club league for months, before Ty finally asked Andrea to play a match—and they were a match. Fast forward a few years and the fun activities that brought them together have now faded into the business of life.

You know, making time for leisure activities is important for all marriages, but my research has discovered that it is particularly important for stepfamily couples. There’s just something about “the fun-factor,” as I like to call it, that protects you from the stress of stepfamily life. So, it’s time to hit the tennis court once again. Love-Love!

For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
