ScriptIn a powerful new Mercedes a married couple are driving along a highway at 60 miles per hour, the wife behind the wheel.Her husband suddenly looks over at her. From the tone of his voice and the expression on his face, it's obvious he's enjoying this moment. He says, “Honey, I've got a surprise for you. I know we've been married for 20 years, but I want a divorce.“The wife says nothing, but slowly increases the speed to 70 mph.He then says, “I don't want you to try to talk me out of it because I don't love you any more.“Again the wife stays quiet, but speeds up as her rage increases.“I want the house,“ he insists, pressing his luck. The wife speeds up to 80 mph.He says, “I want the car, too,“ but she just drives faster and faster.By now she's up to 90 mph. “All right,“ the man says, “I want the bank accounts, and all the credit cards, too.“The wife slowly starts to veer toward a bridge.This makes him a bit nervous, so he says, “Isn't there anything you #*want?“The wife says, “No, I've got everything I need.“Oh, really,“ he says, “So what have you got?“Seconds before they slam into the bridge at a speed of 100 mph, the wife smiles and says, “The airbag.“ ScriptSome people think single parents can never remarry happily, but I disagree. They have to learn the art of blending. A happy remarriage is possible with preparation, patience and prayer. Here are some tips for you. Firstly, slow down. Do not rush your children into trying to like someone. A person you're dating should not even be introduced to your children unless you are sure he or she can get along well with your kids. Your children won't understand the concept of “we're just friends“, so they will see every date as a potential replacement for mom or dad. Secondly, you should seek advice. Talk to your close friends or a psychiatrist. After listening to their advice, you may see some new light and act in a more sensible way.Thirdly, you should expect difficulties. Understand that your children have the dream of reuniting their original family. They must be sad about their losses. Surprisingly, older children need even more time to overcome their sadness than younger children. Just as it takes time to heal, it also takes time to build and rebuild relationships. Although you'd expect that most readjustments would need to be made by the stepparent, the biological parent has adjustments of his or her own, including issues of authority within the new household as well as communication with the other parent. Finally, proceed with caution. Although it is not impossible to have a happy and satisfying stepfamily, you should know that there will be some difficult days ahead. Don't impose friendship on the kids who are not yet ready to accept it.
