Ron: Somebody once said, “Divorce is the gift that keeps on taking.” So why would you want to do it twice?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: About one-third of everyone divorcing this year is divorcing a second time. Now, in my experience nobody really wants a divorce. It may be what people choose when they don’t know what else to do, but it’s not what they really want. So, why would somebody marry and divorce again?

Well, as it turns out, marriage and the stepfamily that comes with it gets increasingly complex and, therefore, harder to do—and that often catches people off guard. And when they don’t know what to do they quit. Here’s the good news. There are solid, practical answers available for the questions stepfamilies ask. You never have to divorce again. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
