    Interesting but not "helpful"
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2012*

I enjoyed the real-life stories in the book.  It is nice to hear what other families are going  through; although I wouldn't wish some of this mess on an enemy, it is nice to know you aren't alone.What I didn't like is that is seemed to have a "learn to just live with it" attitude.  No, I don't think that children coming in and throwing their stuff all over the foor is "their way of making their mark on the house", I think it is disrespectful to do in anyone's home.  If my step-children want to make a mark on our home, they can pick out pictures to hang on the walls or even draw pictures - I don't see how having to step over their stuff adds their mark.  I surely don't see myself just learning to over-look such acts of disrespect for the rest of my married life.I enjoyed the reassurance that feelings are normal - such as not immediatly falling in love with someone else's chidlren, but I also think that if you are a rational adult, you already know you can't love anyone's kids the way you love your own.Most of the arguments described in this book could have been avoided had the step-couple discussed them BEFORE getting married.  This book describes a world where you were so much in love that you ran into marriage (which not many divorced people do) and when the "love bubble" affect wears off you are stuck with disputes about money and disciplining chidlren rather than buiding a life together; simply unrealistic to me.It also seems to encourage building seperate families within a family - I often feel like I expect more from my children than my step-children simply because my kids are here more; however, I think striving to make every child feel as if they are in the family, not just as temporary guests, is important.  I cannot change the way my step-children are being raised by their mother, but I can certainly expect each member of my family to follow the same rules in my house.I was with my now husband for 3 years before we got married.  Having kids already is very much an issue when deciding to join two families but we worked most of this stuff out before we combined our lives.  We discussed our opinions about money and rules for the kids - we didn't just follow the bright love light, that is a luxery you cannot afford when you have been divorced and you already have children.I hoped this book would offer insight into the adult aspect of step-coupling but instead it offered a whole lot about catering to the children and letting our own desires for our family lie-in-wait until our kids get onboard.  If we did that, our home and our family would never have worked itself out.  A united front and being on the same page is essential.I wouldn't reccomend this book to a step-couple who is already together; maybe a new couple could benefit more from it.  I also don't think it grasps the situation as a whole - it doesn't touch on the stresses of ex's and the drama that comes from that, which in my home is more of a threat than our kids!

    Good Concrete Guidance for Struggling Step-Families
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2009*

I recently previewed a series of books as a potential texts to use with step families in crisis. The least informative of these books was "Happily Remarried" by David and Lisa Frisbie. Although the book was inherently readable and certainly got a few good points across--it was completely inadequate to deal with the complexities many step families face.If your step family is dealing with serious issues I recommend "Smart Step Family" by Ron Deal or "Step Coupling" by Susan Wisdom and Jennifer Green. You will find either of these books to be far more comprehensive and useful, although each one has its own strengths. The "Smart Step Family" is a book written from a strong Christian perspective and as such provides significant spiritual and biblical background for people of faith. "Step Coupling" approaches the step family more from a secular counseling context and therefore does not delve much into the moral or ethical aspects of the various issues facing step families. Indeed, when discussing a foundational issue like honesty or dishonesty, the "Step Coupling" book explicitly states that neither value is right or wrong. This was almost a deal-breaker for me. I suspect that even most non-religious people would struggle with the idea that all behavior is value neutral. Nevertheless, the book largely arrives at the same conclusions as its Christian counterpart--albeit from a different perspective.All in all, I think that any step family going through internal or external struggles would be well served to read both books. Both bring unique and significant insights into the challenges that step families face. The "Step Coupling" book is somewhat more earthy and easy to read, being filled with concrete examples from actual step families. The "Smart Step Family" book feels a little more detached, but still does a very good job of communicating the key issues that step families need to address, while acknowledging the spiritual needs of those involved and how to address them. In this sense, it is perhaps the deeper of the two. Either book will do a good job in helping the step family better understand itself and move toward a more fulfilling future together.
