When Family Loyalties Hurt Your Marriage


Listen Later

In blended families, one of the biggest challenges couples face is divided loyalty—choosing between your spouse and your children or extended family. In this honest and hope-filled episode of the Blended Kingdom Families podcast, Scott and Vanessa discuss the emotional and spiritual toll of misplaced priorities in marriage. 

You’ll discover how putting your spouse first—God’s way—can actually strengthen relationships within your blended family. With practical advice grounded in biblical truth, Scott and Vanessa share real-world scenarios that many blended couples face, from dealing with stepchild resentment to navigating holiday expectations with in-laws. They offer tools for setting healthy boundaries, improving communication, and realigning your home with God’s design. 

Whether you’re in a new blended marriage or years into the journey, this episode will help you build unity, reduce resentment, and prioritize your relationship in a way that blesses everyone involved. 

This episode is for blended couples and families ready to move from surviving to thriving—starting with a stronger marriage. 


We pray this episode blesses you today!
