Ron: Sometimes life throws you a curve.

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

Ron: Yeah, I had a five-year-old daughter going in, like I said. She adored Mike. They had a great connection and things were going really well there. But of course, the night before the wedding, she pulls me aside and says, “I don’t want you to marry Mike.” I was blindsided. What’s going on here?

I interviewed Kim Anderson and her husband, Mike, for the FamilyLife Blended podcast. Boy did life throw them a curve. It’s fairly common, by the way, for the weight of a new marriage to cause hiccups in kids. Don’t panic, just reassure them as you walk through adjustments together. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
