From silent resentment and seething jealousy to outright hostility and money battles, they can take their toll on otherwise loving partners. Marriage SOS: Blended Family Edition is a fast and effective "survival guide" that helps partners, bio and step-parents end their "blended" battles to become a happier, healthier family unit in one month. In this Blended Family Edition of her Marriage SOS book series, Debra Macleod, B.A., LL.B. draws upon her years of experience as an in-the-trenches couples' and family mediator, as well as a leading relationship/intimacy author-expert, to offer realistic, gloves-are-off advice to partners who are struggling with a blended family or step situation. Best of all, she helps partners use their step situation to actually strengthen their relationship instead of letting it chip away at it. Marriage SOS: Blended Family Edition targets and tackles the biggest challenges that partners, bio and step-parents face, from a loss of intimacy in their relationship and frustration over child support payments to dealing with a troublesome ex-spouse or finding the patience to understand and connect with a step-child - and everything in between. This edition of Marriage SOS also includes 30 "lifelines" to help partners and bio or step-parents consistently improve their situation over a month-long period. Marriage SOS: Blended Family Edition is suitable for partners who are married, cohabiting or dating.
