Ron: Ideally, kids need two good parents. But what if you only have one?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: We all live somewhere between the ideal and the real, right? What should be ended with the fall of mankind. What is, is the life we live until Jesus comes again. Sure, we wish all kids had two good parents. But the reality is many kids only have one because some parents—both outside and still inside the home—are MIA.

Here’s the deal: when two good parents are not available, research confirms that one good parent who is loving and firm with discipline will often suffice. It can be a foster parent, a mentor, a biological parent, or stepparent. Be that good parent. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
