Blended families don’t struggle because people aren’t trying hard enough.

They struggle because the emotional terrain is more complex than anyone expects.

In this episode of The High Ticket Woman, we’re talking about the unique challenges couples face when one or both spouses bring children, history, and unresolved wounds into a new marriage.

We explore:
• why loyalty binds create quiet tension
• how child-centered marriages slowly erode connection
• the invisible pressure step-parents carry
• why love alone isn’t enough to make blended families work
• and what actually helps couples protect their marriage while parenting together

If you’re remarried, part of a blended family, or dating someone with children, this episode will help you name what you’ve been feeling—and give you clarity on how to move forward without guilt or resentment.

Parenting changes everything—your schedule, your energy, your priorities. And if you’re not careful, it can quietly change your marriage too.

In this episode of The High Ticket Woman, Debbie talks about how families slowly become child-centered without ever meaning to, why that shift creates distance between spouses, and what children actually need most from their parents: unity.

You’ll learn:

• how survival mode replaces connection
• why many marriages drift into co-management instead of partnership
• what happens to children when they become the emotional center of the home
• and practical ways to stay united in discipline, decision-making, and family leadership

This is a powerful reminder that a strong marriage doesn’t compete with good parenting—it supports it.

Listen in and rediscover how parenting as a team keeps your marriage strong.

• conversations keep getting derailed
• parenting or stress has shifted your marriage
