I have watched and studied along with several of these videos, I have become a better husband and step father through these videos. Thank you. I still have a long road but it is worth it all.
Lonny Floyd Likewise! I’m in a relationship with a man who has a little boy. I have a grown son so he is not under my immediate supervision. I am learning how to be a wife and a stepmom. I’m learning how to express love , how to apologize, how to forgive the past experience ext.... Great 👍🏼 teaching.
I love this. I am a proud step-Mother and grandmother. I love my children so much. Together we have 5 beautiful children and 4 grandchildren. We struggled so bad when child support was being paid, but God always provided and it was so worth it. We treat our 3 children that we have toger the same as the 2 older children he had previously. We are so blessed.
Amen God bless you. I have a stepson whose deadbeat father only pays 200 a month in child support for. He is already turning 10 so im just counting on life flying by.
I’m 2 weeks in to having my step daughter live with us but my fiancé has lived with my children full time for 3 years so now we’re all under the same roof and I was very discouraged today until I found this I AM NOW EXCITED FOR THE JOURNEY TO BE A BLENDED FAMILY
This is absolutely correct. I hear many 2nd marriage fall apart because of step children. Everything he says if you can’t abide what he’s saying it will not work on your 2nd marriage. Love that child like it’s your own. Kids know this deep in their hear and actions speaks.,..🙂🙂🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Being a step father was the hardest thing in life I have ever done. I love her kids as much as I do my own which means I had high expectations of them along with that came not always being the fun parent. When it came to parenting people were always telling my wife that they weren’t my kids and that I was to hard on them which ultimately headed towards an unwanted divorce 😞
Thank u Jimmy Evans for this word. I am having so many problems in my marriage as my husband has 3 children. 2 are older they are nearly 30 yr old and one is 30 something yr old. He also has a daughter who is 13 yr old. And her mother is making sure I am not included in my husbands daughters life. She speaks negatively about me to her daughter. She always has done this every tine she saw me she had her daughter with her and she would speak negatively about me as soon as she saw me and their daughter heard. My husband is tasking his ex partners side and keeping me away from their daughter. His daughter knew me from age of 4yrs old and me and her had a close bond. Her mother didn't like it from back then an caused a problem and stooped me being with him when he has her. She trying to control our marriage and what we do and my husband allows her to. Yet I ask him to do something and he doesn't do it. He very rebellious to me yet he does what his ex wants. She includes their daughter in conversation that she shouldn't even be involved in and now his daughter doesn't like me and is causing problems now. I feel my husband sides with them and he is not standing duo for me at all. What can I do. He menst to share everyone in his life with me. And he is not doing this. He knew how I was with his daughter. N now he is very mean to me when I say I care about her. He is behaving wrong to me. I feel they are all coming against me and husband also. He is meant to be for me. Yet he is against me Cos of his ex. He very much influenced so easy by her. Why is this. Ache dictating what happens in our marriage
How do you prevent you child from receiving a bad spirit from the other parent that don't have a relationship with christ we pray over our adoptive granddaughter please respond
I hate being in a blended family, my step brother is spoiled rotten and puts garbage and stuff all over my room and doesn’t get punished for it! And he leaves his dirty clothes on my brother’s bed!
Im leaving this situation. My life is misareble, terrible ... only way we can to see is be divorce. My husbad does'nt Works together or looking for professional help.
This all sounds nice, if it was about us doing it. The problem here is the baby mama and the kids being just like her. And me, having arguments with my husband for trying to educate them to be clean and respectful. I have a toddler, his kids are 7 and 9. They are mean to him and i defend him, and all he sees is that im being mean to them. Im done with this. He can tale his hell somewhere else
@@darthjedi99 All due respect man, I can throw a hundred verses your way too, but that’s not what we’re here for. Careful to be self righteous in your approach my friend. Have you ever been through divorce? And as far as God’s Word goes, you do know that Solomon had more wives than you and I would ever care to have? And yet, he was God’s chosen king. You might argue that, that was old testament and I would throw Hebrews 13:8 right back at ya. Also, imagine what some of the fishermen did just the night before Jesus came and said “follow me” You see? Its pointless. What I do want to tell you is that divorce can traumatise people just as much as a war does - I have personal experience. The pain, hurt and loss is real. There is no reason under the sun why sincere, solid people cannot commit to a new, Godly marriage after divorce. (Obviously not right after divorce) Now is not the time to be self righteous towards people. Believe me when I tell you, God’s Word is meant to bring HOPE to people, not to “damn them to hell” Roughly translated: Preach the good news in every corner of the earth and don’t be an asshole about it!
The bible tells us of many things not to do. Yet everything we are told not to do we do. No man held the law in perfection....so Christ comes in the picture...grace...mercy etc. However issues still have to be addressed. Another thing, God desires us to marry other believers. Yet Paul speaks on the on contrary much about our unbalanced yokes. Solomon wisest man that ever lived disobeyed in this area too. None of us are exempt from Sin. You may have done things right bibically in this area and that's great. But in what areas did you disobey God? Have empathy towards others that have struggles in this area. Remember for none is righteous no not one! God bless.
That depends on the motive and reasons for the second marriage, I am widowed and re married ( totally biblical ) but yet their are problems and situations in our blended family. ....I treasure teaching like this...GOD BLESS! !!
@@darrylchilders2532 Thanks. I was unaware of your specific situation (widowed), but I was inquiring about remarriage when both spouses are still living. I also have a blended family, and it has worked out reasonably well. BTW: I just discovered your Utube channel and will look to see if you have covered this before.
@@namboy2233 God hates divorce and we must do all we cna not to divorce but the. Bible does give exception even tho a person with a pharisees mindset will tell you otherwise because it technically does not say "go and remarry" But with a mindset like that is the same reason muslims do not belive jesus is God because He never said "I am God" even tho when we study and seek the answer through scripture we clearly see jesus is God. With that being said you will have many pahrasis come at you and say a couple of scripture on how you will be declaired a divorced person for ever if you divorce. But for those scripture to make sense we have to ignore all the other many scriptures where God forgives and forgets our mistakes and transgression. Especially you made a new creation in christ the old is gone. A murdered who never ask for forgiveness will still be declaired a murdere in th eyes of the Lord. Same can be viewed in divorce. One more example in how a pharasie mindset worked, when reading the word of God it almost seems that we are allowed to have slaves. And those scriputre wher used to enslave african Americans here in america. Yet it took great men of God to research and study that the term slaves was in use for bondsrrvents not the slavery that took place in america. Yes I belive we can remarry according to scriputre. Based on scriputre. Sorry it was long just wanted to explain how to find the answers it takes research not just quoting scriputre 🙏

EVERY STEP PARENT NEEDS TO SEE THIS BEFORE THEY MARRY!!!
Gina Hamilton I agree with you! This is a great sermon.
The bio parents should watch, too! You cannot choose your kids over your spouse…
As a bonus mom who has taken on four bonus children this is the kind of message that I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I have watched and studied along with several of these videos, I have become a better husband and step father through these videos. Thank you. I still have a long road but it is worth it all.

The greatest love on earth is not an emotion but decision. Wife and husband are equal and step parent is co ownership.
The keyword here is having a strong marriage. A balance of joy playfulness laughter and redirecting bad behaviors in the home.
Praise God
I love Jimmy's teaching.
Amen Powerful Word
I wish me and my wife could sit down and talk with him even if only for an hour.’
Write to him, maybe?
Amen! Needed to hear this! ❤
So good. So difficult.
This is powerful.
Awesome video , great wisdom from Jimmy Evans
Thank you for your words of knowledge, this is the best information I have gained on this topic. Gained a new subscriber
Love this powerful.
Love this!!
I don’t like when it becomes a money catcher. I’m pretty sure there’s good resources at the library

Leave him
Obviously he doesn't respect you or your marriage.
He might be someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. These people triangulate with exes. They want drama and have no idea what love is.
Pray for them. Pray God softens their hearts.
You may want to get individual counseling. There are online Christian counseling sites available. I pray that God gives you wisdom. ❤️
It easier when both parents are born again Christians otherwise it is difficult. Trust me I have tonnes of experience in this regard.
Good stuff
My future husband needs to watch this because he does some of the don'ts, but he doesn't care no matter how many times I explain to him.
Are these things deal breakers or not?
Utube markz for your blessings!!!
I don't forsee Bailey and I have any big issues blending.
How do you prevent you child from receiving a bad spirit from the other parent that don't have a relationship with christ we pray over our adoptive granddaughter please respond
The best place for a child is to be in household of the married biological parents period .
Obviously. But that’s not always possible.
Unless that environment is toxic and abusive.
I hate being in a blended family, my step brother is spoiled rotten and puts garbage and stuff all over my room and doesn’t get punished for it! And he leaves his dirty clothes on my brother’s bed!
Love him hunny. :) you are more mature.
Start saving asap once you're 18 get away from that.
Im leaving this situation. My life is misareble, terrible ... only way we can to see is be divorce. My husbad does'nt Works together or looking for professional help.
How did it end if you don't mind me asking?
I really feel this. I hope that things are in a better place for you both.
