Being a wife the second time around can be most challenging especially when both parties have children.  I never thought the entire transition would be a struggle for me and my husband. My children were pretty much on board with the idea about me being married again however, my husband’s children were very reluctant about welcoming me into their lives.  I’m still in a state of disbelief. I don’t know how to begin with dealing with blended families or even blending our families together without the drama.  This is a question for you.

How can a newly married couple deal with blending a family together to where everyone involved in the transition can blend most effectively?
