Preventing Divorce and Blending Families

Here are a few random lessons learned from class this week:

Preventing Divorce

Much of the time, divorce is something that can be prevented. Of course, there are times when divorce is necessary. But usually it is an event you can choose to avoid. Here are some steps you can take to prevent a divorce from happening to you (taken from A Never Failing Family):

• Careful Selection. Many people do not follow the proper steps in dating which can lead one to jumping into something they don't fully realize.
• Great Unselfishness. You need to be able to work as a team.
• Continued Courtship. In order to keep the relationship strong, continuous dating should take place.
• Commandment. We are commanded to marry and love our spouses with full fidelity. 

Remember, it is a choice!

Blending Families

Combining two families is tough work. But it is important to recognize and remember that while shifting specific roles in a family can be tough, we must be flexible and realize that it might be work for the better. You can still become a family but in different ways with different dynamics!
