Ron: Everyone has struggles. So, how do you know if you need help from an outside source? Well, one indication is, you keep rehashing the same territory. One woman wrote to us. For years her husband talked about his former wife: what went right in their marriage, went wrong, why she left, and how it has affected the kids. Clearly he’s stuck—and the comparisons, both good and bad, to his former wife are taxing their relationship.
Dude, you’re stuck. If you keep walking in circles and can’t step out of the rut, it’s time to talk to a counselor or pastor. Free yourself…and your new family. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
