Facing Change Together: Practical ways to build marital unity in times of stress 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)

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.
