Yeah, Ron, I guess I got whooped by a 9-year-old.
Ron: Yeah, Ron, I guess I got whooped by a 9-year-old.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Tim was looking back over his marriage and how it ended in divorce. We had been talking about how the health of a stepfamily marriage is intertwined with the overall health of the entire family. In his case, he and his wife couldn’t come together around how to parent her son. And in the end, a 9-year-old ruined his marriage.
Now let me be clear, couples in first marriages can lose their relationship to the kids, too. But parent matters can rapidly divide a stepfamily couple. So, if someone you know is facing struggles encourage them to find parental unity and learn from us, so they don’t get whooped by a 9-year-old. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
