Blended (Recycled) Families

Sixty-six navigational markers on the map of merging roads leading to the destination of harmony while driving in the blended family zone!

You need to know…Can blended family life be done right? You want the truth, not another sitcom illusion. You are looking for authenticity, not just perception. Is there hope in the midst of a stepfamily situation that seems like chaos? The answer is a resounding yes!

Blended Family Solutions was born to assist you in handling the challenges that can turn explosive in a recycled family. We offer insightful training, family counseling, relevant tools, common sense advice and coaching that can transform your daunting transition of merging two families together as one.

Sadly the divorce rate for first marriages in America today is 51 percent, but tragically the rate of divorce for second marriages with children rises to 66 percent. The odds are clearly against blended family parents and siblings. Like every problem there are three basic ways to respond:
• Tolerate the situation and hope for the best.
• Get out of the situation completely to avoid responsibility.
• Choose to change your situation and honor God in the process.

The real challenge is to slow down in the “blended family zone” and follow the road signs that lead to the destination of harmony and balanced living. Yes, you can learn how to effectively merge your two families into one cohesive unit. Whether you tolerate the relationship and hope for the best or leave and get another divorce, neither is simple or easy. Most likely you still love your spouse very much you just don’t know how to deal with the unexpected problems that are unique to stepfamilies. When you choose this course of action, you are forcing your children to feel the effects of a second divorce, not to mention the lesson you are teaching them about love, commitment and marriage.
