Differences in you and your spouse’s parenting styles can destroy your marriage, or strengthen them if we recognize and talk about them.
This is a great topic we shared on a Thursday Live that was recorded. There are many blended family issues we face, but one of the main ones is differences in us and our spouse. Although, when we learn to communicate about these things with each other, we can start learning to work together.
Our parenting styles are a mixture of our belief system and expectations for our kids fitting into society. In our blended family, we can have very different parenting styles. Most of the time we don’t recognize this, and it can lead to division and resentment.
But when we recognize it and can come together to talk about it, we can start merging our styles into one that fits the both of us. This keeps us working together on the same page, which ultimately makes us better parents for our kids.
