In this episode we focus on spouse life in a blended family.  There is nothing more offensive than having someone talk to you in a negative light about your child(ren), especially if it is coming from your spouse.  It have be difficult to have a meaningful and effective conversation about the tough stuff when you start out defensive and hurt.  Mindfulness is key to enter into any hard talk you need to have with your significant other.  Also KEY to any successful and loving marriage is trusting and believing that your spouse has your best interest at heart and is not out to get you or hurt you.  When you can see things through that lens, it makes the tough stuff a lot less upsetting and allows you to actually receive what is at the heart of any issue you may be having (such as resentments, jealousy, or distress).  It is also key to learn to let things go that don't really effect you and stop trying to micromanage your blended family to the point of creating unnecessary issues and upset.  Stop trying to push your spouse into a relationship/friendship with your ex if they don't want it (that is certainly unfair).  Stop living like single parents together; how confusing is that for everyone!?  And stop holding onto the negativity or that is how you will approach every situation and conversation in your home, and what good comes from that?  Enjoy!

Our Purpose: Why is talking about blended families and life in general important? Because we believe that we can do better than what statistics say about second marriages lasting, about blending families making it, that’s why! A 70% divorce rate statistic for remarriages with children is simply unacceptable! Spreading life lessons, passing along wisdom gained from experience and bringing to light what is often happily left in the dark to hide, is how we all can learn to be better, to do better the second time around (in a
