Facing Change Together Practical ways to build marital unity in times of stress. by The Word Among Us
Good or bad, sought or unsought, inevitable or unexpected—change is a reality that no one can escape. When you get married, though, you multiply your chances of being affected by it.
And right there in the vows, you promise to stand together through whatever changes life will bring: “For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.”

Q&A With Bill & Stephanie O’Hanlon Facilitated by Coaching Circles Comments (0)
Q. My husband died a year ago and I've started a new relationship. My friends and family are horrified that I am involved in a relationship so soon after the death of my husband. How can I make them see how right my new relationship is for me?
A. People often have opinions about how soon to date following the loss of a spouse (although a year is fairly commonly accepted). Unless your friends and family have specific concerns that you're being taken advantage of financially or in some other way by your new partner, we suspect that it will be just a matter of time before they can accept this new person. You can't please all the people all the time, and trying to convince them you're right will likely drive them further into judgement-land. Let them have their own time to grieve and move on. If they never come to accept your new partner, so be it.
