Blended Families:
Recipes for Success
Blended families are surely on the rise with 40% of all marriages involving at least one partner having a child from a previous relationship. Blended families are hard on marriage with a divorce rate of 70%. Ouch!
This is why I have written an easy-to-understand and innovative book that could make the difference between a successful blended family and yet another divorce.
My new book is written in a fun to read recipe form, making "what to do" clear without excessive verbiage. Each part gets right to the point and provides just what you need to create a winning recipe for a happy family.
As an added bonus there is a section at the end of the book that gives you the chance to write your own blended family recipe.
The Gift Of A Lifetime
Strong marriages need care and attention. The Gift of a Lifetime was written for couples at every stage—from newlyweds to those who have shared many years together—and offers thoughtful guidance for maintaining a healthy, lasting relationship.
Through practical insights on forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, trust, and spirituality, Barbara helps couples strengthen their connection, work through life’s challenges, and rediscover the love that brought them together.
