Week 12 Blending Families and Aging Families

As I mentioned in an earlier post, everyone seeks for intimate relationships. So, people who are divorced or widowed fill the void by getting remarried. Remarriage comes with the possibility of blending families together. Children are in the mix of blending families, and it is  necessary to provide boundaries and to express love to the family. One video I really like that was showed in class, is a song by Brad Paisley called "He Didn't Have to Be." It really exemplifies a good way to blend families.

Also, I learned life doesn't end at age 45! To be honest, I didn't really even think about my life after my children would leave the house. I have learned about so many opportunities and experiences that could help me and my husband to become closer. It is a time to focus on each other again with out having to fill the role as a parent also. It is a time to explore many opportunities to continue learning, and teaching others what we learn.
