Marriage is challenging no matter what. But when we add new factors and people into our families through re-marriage – whether it's divorce or after a death – it can bring even more challenges and pain. But there is hope! In this episode of the Abundant Life Family Podcast, our hosts Bill and Jen Hildebrand sit down with Dr. Jeff Cox, the Executive Pastor of Missions and Counseling at Abundant Life to discuss what it means to have a successful remarriage and blended family through a Christ-centered approach. Blending effectively and parenting with re-marriage will require you to die to yourself and live no longer for yourself or your spouse. It's about turning your expectations of a Brady Bunch over to the Lord and live in prayer and reality. Jeff shares his insights and recommendations for parents who are considering re-marriage with kids at home.
