BLENDED FAMILY WORKSHOP
- This workshop is designed to help two families become
united through God’s grace in a second marriage. It will help families
accept the present, deal with the past, work through guilt, understand
forgiveness, handle conflict, discuss finances, and be better
stepparents.
TOPICS
- Can Yesterday’s Failure Spoil Today’s
Blessings?
An important key to a healthy blended family is resolving
the issues of the past. Everyone in the family must resolve the issues
of guilt and bitterness.
Strengthen The Primary Relationship
The primary relationship in a family is husband and wife. The
children feel secure when they know the parents are committed to each
other.
Conflict: Make It A Positive Experience
Conflict is inevitable in any marriage. The secret to a
healthy family relationship is developing good techniques to resolve
conflict.
Not "Yours" and "Mine", but "Our" Children
The secret of step-parenting is adoption, not legal but emotional.
This enables the parents to rear the children as if they were their own.
It is "Our" Debt, Too!
Finances can be a problem if there is not agreement. Healthy
families see all debt and income jointly. Couples increase their harmony
as they understand each other’s concept of money and together as a
family develop and maintain a budget.
