Researchers have found some good news and some bad news in regards to stepfamilies. The bad news is that the first three years can be so hard that the majority of couples end up divorcing. The good news is that for those who do make it to year five the families are generally stronger than traditional families. This probably has a lot to do with how much more stepfamilies have gone through together in those first five years.

Our goal is to help you become part of the good news stepfamily category. The most important step to achieve this goal is for you to form and sustain a healthy marriage.

If the foundation of a bridge is weak, then it will crumble under the stress of the loads that are put upon it. The same is true in stepfamilies. The foundation of a strong stepfamily is a strong marriage. In first time marriages the loads that are put on them are usually initially light and more time is given for the couple to form a solid marital foundation. This is generally not the case with stepfamilies. The loads are immediately heavy and if the marital relationship isn't solid then the whole structure crumbles quickly.

So, how do you form the type of marital foundation that will be able to withstand the pressures associated with stepfamilies? The key is to gain and implement the skills and knowledge that will allow you to quickly form and, most importantly, maintain a healthy marriage.

The following programs have been designed to help couples in stepfamilies to gain the skills and knowledge that will enable them to form and maintain a healthy marriage.

We highly recommend you become an informed consumer before you sign up for one of these programs. Possible questions you might ask include:

1. What is your experience and training in this program?

2. Is this program based on research and can you supply me with the references for the research articles it is based on?

3. What is the total cost for attending this program and how long does it last?

4. What are the specific relationship skills and knowledge taught in this program?

5. What are your expectations of us as participants?

6. Will any participant ever be asked or expected to share personal experiences in a group setting?

If you have a program to help couples in stepfamilies and would like it added to this list please please send us an email.
