Your Remarriage with Children
= The Weakest Link

I'm just going to come straight out with it! "The marital bond in your remarriage with children is the weakest one at the beginning of the life of your step family."

Ok, now that I've said it, let's look at what to do with that.

Reading that may have sounded contrary to your usual way of thinking because it tends to be the opposite of what first marriages experience. It’s true though. Think about it for a second. You’ve known your kids their whole lives. How long have you known your new partner?

Even though this imbalance is present in the beginning, for the marriage to survive it needs to be made a priority. Now, this needs to be a slow process, but it needs to ultimately happen.

This process needs to go slow because your children are not going to like it one bit. They will try to make you feel guilty for spending time with your spouse instead of them. It will be important to let them know that this doesn’t need to be an "either/or" situation. Instead, you are making time for your marriage "and" you regularly make time for them. Accept the fact that your kids won't like this at first, but you must remain firm in this commitment.

A lot of remarriages with children do this because they don't want to throw anything else new at their kids. This is understandable and why I encourage you to take this slow. But, let me ask you, "If the remarriage is not put in a place of honor and dies, then just how stable a family life will you be providing for your children?"

That need for a strong marriage relationship, is what prompted me to create this information packed e-course. Learn how you can start receiving it today.
