Hello everyone,
Its an amazing weekend, hope you're all good.
The issue of step-parenting has been an alarming issue in our society today, that has affected most children who tend to grow up with the mentality that marriage is not enjoyable but rather endurable.
Marriage they say is a union between two matured minds of opposite gender; Futhermore, it is an agreement of two different genders ,male and female accepting to become one.
However, most times, it becomes a big concern and problem in the family and even the society at large that most times ,step parents refuse to take responsibility for their step-children, building a wall of hatred in their mind.
I think and know fully well that nobody would ever sit or planned on becoming a Step parents.This occurs as a result of some difficult and uncontrollable situation that can't be helped most times, but in a scenario where this occurs the best thing is to welcomed and accept the family you find yourself and with that marriage becomes enjoyable, though there are other factors involved.
Without a doubt, there are some step parents that have done incredibly great.Their behaviors and actions towards their step-children have not gone unnoticed.They are good to the core, most times if you aren't told that they are not the biological parent you wouldn't spot that out.Think about this , and what has made this possible, I will tell you it's simply the mutual understanding between the couples.They believe that the child is just like their own.In terms of upbringing,care, attention, advice, the cordiality, and everything, I mean, they play and does it well .I have seen a step child reward the step mother so outstandingly because of how she treated him back then, even in the absence of his biological mother.
On the other hand, it's always painful to see a child you groom and nurture turn out to become a problem to the society.Though most of them turn out to live this dubious life due to their ugly experiences they face from their step parents.This behaviors affect them physiological especially the kids. Its effects even their learning in school. I bumped into a child who looked so unkempt, and moody and when I asked her reason for her mood swing, she said she misses her mother.This gap is built based on the step parent reactions towards the poor child. She couldn't treat nor care for that child like hers.
I personally do not like the issue of step parent, but all the same, God hates divorce and in a case where this occurs as a result of death it is widely acceptable for the other partner to go ahead and remarry, so far he or she marries whoever is ready to bear the cross of marriage withouts discrimination..
.
Getting another partner is absolutely right as I said earlier, especially when everything is done orderly.This goes a long way of saving the other partner from premature death, deep thoughts, even some regrettable actions.
I will end by saying it all over again, that marriage is sweet especially with the right partner. It is meant to be enjoyed and never to be endured. Marriage is gold and children are blessings from the Lord, and they ought to be taken care of without maltreatment.
Thank you for reading through.
