Adapt as Needed (Day 5 of 5)
Life throws us curves and when it does flexible people find a way to adapt. Cholesterol free couples get creative in handling their differences or compromise to work through a disagreement. They will change themselves in order to grow through a circumstance. But the cholesterol of rigidity and stubbornness keeps other couples stuck. They won't change or consider another point of view. Do you want a healthy blended marriage? Ask God to give you a flexible heart and be willing to adapt together.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: You know, life has a way of throwing us curves and when it does flexible people find a way to adapt. Cholesterol free couples, for example, get creative in handling their differences or compromise to work through a disagreement. But it is more than just that. They are willing to change themselves if necessary in order to grow through a circumstance.
But the cholesterol of rigidity and stubbornness keeps other couples stuck. They aren’t willing to change or consider the other’s point of view. They just keep beating their head against the same wall expecting it to move. Do you want a healthy blended marriage? Ask God to give you a flexible heart and be willing to adapt together. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
