Blended Family Drama

A Blended Family is defined as either a husband or wife who has had a child or children from a prior relationship. After being married for over 20 years, my wife and I never thought about the dynamics that comes along with blending two families together.

Before blending a family together, you must consider the other parent that is outside of your current marriage. If you are apart of a blended family, I would love to hear some of your challenges and successes. This picture reflects a lot of households today. However, we must look at the big picture more to obtain some form of balance within the home.

Comment by V.D. Coleman on November 19, 2008 at 9:37am: great blog and that is just THE ISSUE BISHOP.. people are more concerned about looking good.. having titles, and things that they forget the REALITY of the matters that actually form their lives.

it is taught more so towards men that the should not seek counsel.. it is like this " ill be ok doc " mental state and in the end, days turn into YEARS of unhappiness...

its about being kingdom.. even HAPPINESS.. kingdom just does not mean MINISTRY... it is the OVERALL PICTURE of why we are here on this earth!!!

Comment by Bishop David A. H. Gavin on October 15, 2008 at 5:22pm: Apostle, the biggest mistake that I made was not seeking guidance before attempting to blend a family together. Now after being married over 13 years challenges have become greater. Now, I share with people is set boundaries before getting married and if you're already married remember that your marriage is first priority. The couple must agree on discipline, rules such as curfew, dress codes and even on outside influences. In-laws, ex-spouses, aunts and uncles can't dictate what goes on in your household. There must be a meeting of the minds. I believe that disrespect is unacceptable to either parent. Therefore, when this happens the biological parent needs to speak on it quickly. If it is not dealt with, this seed of discord well take over your household. On my website www.maximumgrace.org, are some basic boundaries. You can also email me at bishopdgavin@gmail.com.
