I’m sure my point of view won’t be popular in this forum but the author needs to make the point that what would be MOST beneficial to the children is to forego remarriage until all the kids are grown. Coming from a blended family myself, I must conclude that there is no valid reason to put the kids through “wisdom through the pain”. I had a miserable childhood in a blended family but setting that aside, there is NOTHING Biblical about revolving spouses through the household.

I think this book is awesome even for couple’s who have never been married before–as they are also making a Blended Family
Bringing what they learned in their Family of Orgin’s into a new family–it will open their eye’s to habit’s formed in their childhood families that aren’t biblical–habit’s that can destroy a new marriage–

This book is AWESOME!!
I can’t think of a better book to put into the hands of relatives or friends that are intertwined in a blended family position. It’s honesty and encouragement make it a MUST have.
I believe that this is a book that will benefit the entire family.
Packed with encouragement, possiblities, and truth. It’s wonderful to see a book finally written with a biblical point of view on this subject. This author nailed it! This subject is a “touchy” one and yet MUST be discussed in order for all families to heal and unite!
I would highly recommend this book & workbook to all that are in blended situations like us.

My wife and I are using this book and the accompanying workbook in a blended families ministry we’re leading. We’ve found it to be the best book for couples attempting the challenging work of building a solid, Christian marriage after divorce or the loss of a spouse. The couples (and singles contemplating forming a new blended family) in our group all have found Maxine and Charlie’s experiences to be enlightening and encouraging, and the teaching Biblically sound. We highly recommend this book!
