One of the ways that Barbara and I give each other access to our lives is by monitoring one another's schedule and workload. We also talk about our children's activities because of their effect on the whole family. Monitoring everyone's schedule helps our family avoid experiencing the pain of being overextended.As you and your mate face continuing time pressures and stress, it's best to handle life in tandem, not solo. Your mate can detect blind spots that you are missing. This type of mutual submission promotes healthy oneness as you interact and depend on one another.One final thought. Tonight, I want to encourage you to get out your calendars. Go over your schedule and see if there are any unnecessary appointments. If there are, why not re-claim that time for your marriage or have a family night.I'm Dennis Rainey, and that's Real Family Life.

It's great that that daughter is beginning to feel some love for that dad. Experts say that it takes an average of seven years for a step family to adjust to each other. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that one out of every three Americans is now a stepparent, stepchild, or some other participant in a stepfamily. I'm well aware that many who are listening to me are a part of a stepfamily. Well, today I want to encourage you to persevere. You have a tremendous opportunity to show how God can work to make a less-than-perfect situation, something that shows the wonder of His grace, power, and restoration. I challenge you to remain committed to your stepfamily.One final thought. FamilyLife has helpful articles and resources for stepfamilies -- as well as the traditional family on our website -- familylife.com.I'm Dennis Rainey, and that's Real Family Life.
