Families Revisited.

Dan Snell, a friend of mine, has an avocation to help blended families. A blended family is a family where either or both parents have children from a previous marriage, which by the way is almost everyone I know. When I married again, I already had three sons from a previous marriage. My wife and I had two more sons together that means we raised 5 sons. We are a blended family. I believe we are also bonded, with 31 years of marriage, but that is another story. Most blended families are not bonded yet and need the help of a man like Dan.

My friend Dan wants to convert blended families into bonded families. I am not sure why we need an adjective to describe a family, but we must. We must as they say. The reason is because the word “family” by itself, sadly, ceases to have a clear definition anymore. Hence, we need adjectives for clarification. We have disjointed families, broken families, abusive families, divorced families and so on.

It used to be the word Family meant something without an adjective. It meant eating together on Sundays, talking together, playing monopoly together, and going to church together and so on. Get it. That is all changed. The word Family by itself has no meaning anymore without an adjective and some context. Families need attention. Give some to yours. Bonded families are no accident. If yours is not, contact my friend Dan. Let him show you the way.

Dan Snell is onto an important concept. You need to take a look at the services his organization provides. Http://www.thebondedfamily.com
