You can have a solid marriage – and an enjoyable family life. But, to do that, you have to understand the most important relationship in a stepfamily is the stepcouple. In fact you can be unstoppable when the two of you team up!
Why does it have to be THIS hard?
People offer well meaning advice on being a step- parent all the time. Trouble is, unless they are a stepparent themselves they usually have no idea what they are talking about. Being a stepparent is hard. Hard on your head, your heart and your soul. But, with time and support, it can also transform your head, your heart and your soul.
