Marriage: Save Your Marriage, Stay Persistent
Ron: Are you struggling in your marriage? Stay the course.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Many married couples are struggling. Take a lesson from successful stepfamily couples. Research reveals that compared to those who give in to divorce, successful couples do three things. They work hard at communicating well; they persist in problem-solving meaning, when they get stuck they change how they approach the problem till they find a solution; and they deal with their larger family issues, like stepparenting.
Bottom line: even though they have just as many conflicts, they don’t quit till they find a way through. Hey, this is hard work. Don’t give up. Be an overcomer. Stay the course. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
