Keys to a Healthy Blended Family
The struggles and challenges of building a new family unit.

Today, more than at any moment in history, we're facing the challenges of blending families--bringing two families together to create a new one. This week on Renewal our host, Dr. Gene Getz, talks with his special guest, Jim Smoke, the author of 7 Keys to a Health Blended Family. Jim discusses the struggles he faced growing up in a blended family and shares out of his experiences of spending many years helping remarried couples face this challenge. They will also discuss how to enhance communication, how to treat all the children equally and fairly and how to establish and maintain discipline standards. Join us on Renewal for a look at this timely and challenging subject.
