Yeah, most couples divorce anyway so if you’re having problems, just accept the inevitable.
Ron: Yeah, most couples divorce anyway so if you’re having problems, just accept the inevitable.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: No, actually, that’s wrong. Really wrong. You see, it’s based on the belief that half of marriages end in divorce which isn’t true. Actually, most couples report that they are “somewhat to very happy.”
“Yes, but Ron what if you’re not happy?” Let me encourage you to stick it out. Research clearly shows that couples who stay together during a time of distress report years later being very happy they did. And stepfamily couples who stay married at least five years discover many rewards just because they didn’t quit. Hey, don’t give up! You and your children will be very glad you didn’t. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
