Don’t Miss This Great Class!
Living in a step-family or blended family can be a challenge to your marriage, to your kids and step-kids, and definitely to your peace of mind! Today the step-family or blended family represents 40-50% of all family units. You’re not alone. Statistics indicate that a staggering two-thirds of second marriage step-families end in divorce! We want to help.
Step-family issues are definitely not the same as first-time marriage concerns. Most of us just want to experience God’s love and joy in our lives. But how do you make this blended family thing work? God has a plan! Psalm 37:5 says, “Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and He will act.” This class will offer you:
- Understanding of the stages of blending a family.
- Root causes of pain and disharmony in step families.
- Ideas for overcoming feelings of guilt, discouragement, or even wanting to give up.
- A plan for moving toward acceptance of family members you did not choose.
- Key issues in building a healthy re-marriage, caring for his/her/our kids, and honoring God in a blended family context.
- A safe place for confidential discussion and connection with others who understand what you’re going through.
