Blended Family Breakthrough

156. The 3 Super Strengths of a Blended Family Marriage


Listen Later

They say hindsight is 20/20.  Wouldn't it be cool if you could temporarily fast forward your blending journey about 20 years?  You could clarify the most important things to focus on that might lead to success.

You'd come back from that trip through time better equipped to understand the things that matter — and maybe some of the things that don’t.

Unfortunately, we don't have a modified Delorean like Doc Brown to take you to your future.  What we do have is our own story of blending over the past 22 years.  

So, we can't offer your own personal hindsight…

…but we can share some insight based on our experiences that could be helpful and hopeful in your journey.

In this episode, we're sharing 3 specific insights we've had over the past couple of decades.  We call them "Super Strengths".  They are 3 of the most critical character traits we've each had to adopt and develop in our journey as a step-couple.

We're confident that if you engage these Super Strengths in your marriage they will lead you to the blending experience you're hoping for.

You'll Discover:

  • Why you need to focus on more than just the "problems" of blending
  • How focusing on your own growth can keep you moving forward
  • The 3 Super Strengths every couple will develop — when they're willing to invest in their blended family
