The famous anthropologist, Margaret Meade said that to expect two young people to commit to a lifelong relationship is silly. People change. None of us is the same person we were 20 years ago. We grow, we become different people. I look back on the day I married for the first time and I don't know that guy. I look at her and think, "What the hell was I thinking."?

All three of my kids were from the first marriage, so I have never had that problem of "Your kids and my kids are fighting with our kids."

Change is inevitable. Resistance to change is also inevitable.
