Blended Family: Our most important intimate relationships come from our families, long-term relationships, and marriages. We are affected by our intimate family relationships, parents, extended famiys, birth family, blended family, divorces, deaths, and births of other children.

Blended Family, Extended Family, and Birth Family greatly determine our destiny in life.

Six factors are near certainties about 
families and destinies in life:

1.  The most intimate relationships we ever have 
in our lives come from our families--the one we
grew up in (birth, blended, and/or extended) and 
the one(s) we form through marriage and/or 
long-term relationships. 

2.  There is no greater influence on a young child 
growing up than his/her family. Certainly children  
are influenced by teachers, sports, Scouts, their 
peer group, school, neighborhood, and the like.  
But the real influence in any child's life comes 
from home.

3.  The relationship between children and their
parents is fluid, dynamic, and all-important and 
influences that child for life..  

4. Every time another child is born, the entire 
family environment changes.  How parents
interact with a child as he/she is born into 
the family circle determines a great part of 
that child's final destiny. 

5.  Divorce and/or the death of a parent is 
a major change and a major influence on 
a child and his/her family.

6. If there is a blended family in the family tree, 
as there are in most families, it will
determine at least part of a child's ultimate 
destiny in  life.
