Full Description

Navigate the challenges of a blended family with children to fortify your marriage for lasting happiness and understanding.

The Happy Stepcouple is a comprehensive and practical book designed to help couples with children from prior relationships thrive despite the complexities of stepfamily life. Utilizing the most current research in attachment theory, psychology, communication, and marriage and family therapy, Rachelle Katz offers a grounded approach to overcoming common stepfamily problems. She shows stepcouples how to establish realistic stepfamily expectations as well as identify and modify harmful communication patterns—essential elements needed to strengthen the family bond.

Drawing on the insights and strategies developed from Katz's 30-plus years as a marriage and family therapist specializing in treating stepfamilies, The Happy Stepcouple also includes personal accounts from stepcouples who describe the problems they have faced and how they handled them. It gives couples everything they need to navigate stepfamily dynamics with confidence and kindness, allowing families to build a happy, fulfilling life together.
