Ep.76: Blended for 16 Years (What Really Keeps a Second Marriage Strong)

In this episode of the Faith Influencer Podcast, I finally sit down with my wife, Deana, to talk honestly about what really keeps a second marriage strong and what 16 years in a blended family has actually looked like for us. We open up about how our totally different faith backgrounds shaped the early tension in our marriage, what counseling forced us to confront, and the messy, real moments of figuring out how to love each other’s kids while still dealing with insecurities from past relationships. Deana shares about her “mama bear” instincts, we talk about what healthy co-parenting with exes actually looks like, and how having our “ours” baby shifted the whole dynamic of our home. If you’re part of a blended family, you’ll relate to the hard parts — and I hope you find encouragement in the breakthroughs God walked us through. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?
