Couples are optimistic when they remarry. They want life to settle down and to get on with the business of being happy. However, it can take a long time for people in newly blended families to get to know each other, to create positive relationships, and to develop a family history.
You may know your partner but the kids and your family don’t know them like you do. Your ex will also have a reaction – it’s hard not to. Even if you have lived together before getting married – things will change once you become a “step family”.
Trust me – I wish I could keep it from happening but there is no special mantra. You just have to prepare, prepare, prepare and then work, work, work.
Do you need some assistance, or ideas?
