Ron: Guess what? A regular diet of fun predicts whether stepfamily couples have a dynamic, fulfilling relationship, or an unhappy one.

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

Ron: Yeah, of course this makes sense, right? Couples who engage in leisurely activities together on a regular basis report that they like each other and enjoy being with one another. That makes total sense. So, why don’t we find the time for the fun-factor more often?

Well, one-third of stepfamily couples disagree about what’s fun. They have different interests and hobbies that take them in two directions. Now it’s okay to have different interests, but you must find something that you can share together. Hobbies and leisure time keeps Jack from being a dull boy. Sharing it with Jill keeps their marriage from being dull, too.

For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
