Divorce is normally the end result of more than 50 percent
of marriages in the US. What’s worse is that the divorce in remarriages is even
higher. However, blended family partners are well-aware about these statistics.
There are instances wherein unresolved disputes and conflicts can grow into
bigger problems in the blended family even if the partners try to succeed on
their remarriage. Unappreciated and resentment are the common feelings of the
family spouses when it comes to failed first marriage. Furthermore, the step
children and the biological children tend to lose everything due to this
failure.
The step family remarriages still provide hope for the
children and to the partners. The step parent just needs to avoid conflicts and
work with issues in the blended family to make their relationship stronger. This
allows the blended family to unite as one family and disregard the difficulties
they are facing. In order to attain this, the blended family partners need to
raise children that are not their own and coordinate with visitation of their
ex-spouse. The hardest thing for couples is to accept the opportunity to have a
romance without being interrupted. They tend to sacrificed this for their
children and step children in some cases in order to make the blended family
successful. This is also the reason that makes the blended family stronger.
