Marrying again means we marry into previously established family systems. There are unwelcome changes, like new parent and sibling figures, newfound emotions, and mixed up money matters. These are common to a ready-made family and all need to be sorted through with sensitivity. Every child in our home is also an important part of another family system where they receive love and a sense of belonging. Participants will be encouraged to implement healthy co-parenting values within the home and between the homes. In remarrying the family picture gets bigger!
This seminar is offered in a two hour module or a more informative four hour venue.
The focus is to build harmony in relationships and minimize family stressors. By understanding how to better implement transitions within the family, it is possible to remove old barriers, add a cooperative spirit, and allow everyone to feel love can be trusted and a commitment for the welfare of the newly established "family" is securely in place.
Dr. James Dobson, in the April 2005 Focus on the Family Magazine, said, “I would say the greatest problem you will face, is the way you will feel about your kids. Each of you is irrationally committed to you own, and you’re merely acquainted with the others. You will be tempted to be partial to those you brought into the world. It is possible to successfully blend families, and millions have done it. But the task is difficult, and you will need some help pulling it off.”
