Episode Transcript
Ron: What? Cards, gifts, and acts of kindness for your ex?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Did you hear about the guy who took flowers, cards and a gift to his children so they could give them to his ex-wife and then he helped them cook her breakfast? When pressed for an explanation he said, “I’m raising two little men. The example I set for how I treat their mom is going to significantly shape how they see and treat women. I think even more so in my case because we are divorced.”
And then he added, “So if you aren’t modeling good relationship behavior for your kids, get your act together. I don’t care if they don’t deserve it,” he said. “Rise above it and be an example. This is bigger than you.” I say, Amen. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
