Blended and Blessed Families

ABOUT

Valerie Govender from Focus on Family Africa, was quoted as saying “Many experts say it takes five years or more for a blended family to begin to feel cohesive. There's no way to force a family to bond, but with faith and persistent effort, families can grow closer. The task of building a successful blended family is challenging and complicated. Even under the most ideal circumstances it takes time – lots of it.”

How does one navigate, the cultural, sometimes racial, parenting styles, bonding of children in the new setup, dealing with one's ex who has a part in the marriage due to a common child( what is the correct way of engagement with an ex who has moved on into a marriage?).

She went further to say that blended families face unique challenges. “That doesn’t make them better or worse, just different. Understanding the factors that make step-families distinct is critical. It can make the difference between a blended family that is floundering and one that is built on a solid foundation of love and trust".

Marriage Powerhouse Network NPC, will be hosting a physical Seminar to unpack this very sensitive topic.
