WHY HELP BLENDED FAMILIES?
- Nationally, 40 percent of couples with children
are stepcouples and 100 million people in
the US have a step-relationship of some kind
- 40 percent of all new marriages in the US are remarriage for one or both of the partners (Most form stepfamilies or blended
families)
- There are an additional 36 million Americans who are divorced or widowed (possibly finding themselves in a remarriage at some
point)
- Remarriage has a higher divorce rate due to the process of stepfamily
"blending"
- Stepparenting is radically different than parenting
- Marital isolation is often tied to stressors like ex-spouses, previous
hurt, or holiday/special day traditions and expectations
- Stepcouples or "Blended Family Couples" have conflict
around kids and parenting
Below you'll find helpful resources to guide you on your path to building a blessed, healthy, and happy blended family that
THRIVES!
