Dear Wonderful Stepfamily Couple:

 

Are you frustrated by communication with your partner about certain issues?

 

Do you feel like your life just goes up and down?

 

Do you have to constantly figure out what to do about an ex-spouse?

 

Would you like to learn great strategies and tools that will work every time

you and partner have an issue to work out? 

 

Do you dread visitation with the children?

 

Do you wish you could have more structure and consistency in your family?

 

Was the romance and fun the first thing to go?

 

Would you like to be able to plan your weekends and holidays effectively?

 

Do you spend a lot of time worrying about your stepfamily's conflicts?

 

Are secretly wondering if you made a mistake about marrying your spouse, even though you still love him/her?

 

 

Well, you’re in the right place and I can’t wait to help you!

 

You and I are a lot alike when it comes to wanting a healthy and satisfying stepfamily life without the constant worries and uncertainties.  

 

My husband and I struggled for the first several years of our married life, trying to figure everything out, and keep up with all the changes in our lives.  There was a point where I was furious and he was really frustrated. Sometimes, we couldn’t even finish a conversation about the kids or the exes.

But that didn’t stop us from looking for the right answers. Like you may have been doing,  we furiously searched to find answers in books, on the internet, and from psychiatrists and psychologists.

And then we found the Stepfamily Program developed by the Stepfamily Foundation and Dr. Jeanette Lofas-  which has an 84% success rate with stepfamily couples.

 

Now you can learn what we did without taking all that time, all those years, and all that money.

After almost 9 years of marriage and 4 teenage kids, my husband and I are happier than we have ever been, and it is not because our life is easy.

Our life is complicated with exes on both sides and lots of things going on… but we have the tools and skills to make our marriage and our family work.

 

Course Overview:

 

Learn the real rules, and the vital (and often hidden) issues that cause the high break up rate among new partners with children. 

Understand management for a successful stepfamily in this couple-tested, one-of-a-kind program for stepfamilies developed by the Stepfamily Foundation and Dr. Jeanette Lofas, which has an 84% success rate for stepfamilies.


The stepfamily is as different from the biological family in function, management, and roles as is checkers from chess. It is more complex. It is more difficult. Once people know the rules- how to manage a stepfamily and roles of each member of the family- the new system can and does work.” 

-- Dr. Jeanette Lofas, Stepfamily Foundation

 

You will learn:


You’ll be relieved to know it is easy to follow.

First, you’ll learn all about the hidden issues of stepfamily dynamics and exactly how you can conquer the issues now and in the future.

 

Then, you’ll learn how to build couple strength and learn to communicate in very effective ways.  Bring back the best parts of your relationship and ENJOY the love you share.  Keep the fun!

 

“How do we manage our home and family?” is a big question that stepfamily asks. You’ll create a vision together. You’ll end up with a comprehensive picture of how your house will run on a regular basis, and how everybody will contribute and create family in the process- even the most difficult kids.  You’ll also get very clear on your parenting roles and what you each need to do as parent and stepparent.

 

And last, we will deal with visitation and custodial issues.  This will help you both know how to manage transitions and expectations as well as make sure you are doing what you can to help your kids.  We’ll also tackle strategies and resources for dealing with difficult exes.

What students say:

The program works because it provides a wealth of good tools through which Stepfamilies can actually cross over to become families.

--Neel



Your marriage is worth the time and effort to do the program. It is convenient. He can write it down on his calendar and make a point to call in from wherever he may be. You will learn better communication skills and possibly information that needs to be addressed. Your children will be blessed because there are ways to coach and educate you as a couple to withstand from doing damage to your children. I believe that the program has so much to offer and I would encourage any couple to say YES – Just do it!

--Janice



You can’t do it yourself. And sometimes, having a different way to do it is good. The main thing is that you have to go outside of the situation to resolve the patterns. This is a good, safe harbor (and non- judgmental) to resolve some issues and get answers to your questions. We get so caught up in the day to day issues about he said/she said or your kids/my kids that we forget about our family. How to create "our" family is what all of us are looking for...

--Walter



This class is definitely worth it if only for the reading materials and exercises alone. If a couple is committed to doing the work, then the material can be an excellent guide to a more harmonious course of couplehood and family.


--Gail



"I feel the program has given me the tools to reconnect with my wife and my children!

I have always felt an incredible amount of love for them, I just didn't have the communication skills for these most important relationships.  I am more consistent with my message and am better able to communicate love to my family members."

--Bert



"This program helped my husband to see that rules and structure are good for a child. He definitely gained from the sessions that you had with him and he is following through with it, which is so amazing!  It was a big goal and I'm glad it was reached."

--Laura

Additional Information:

 

-You can attend the program with or without your spouse:

What if my partner will not be involved? Can I enroll by myself?

That is also okay.  Just one part of the couple knowing and understanding these concepts is huge, and can help the couple as a whole. Whether it is 2 people or 1 person representing your stepfamily couple, the price is the same.

 

- You won't be by yourself. Other stepfamily couples will be there too. But we want to keep it small, so that each couple comes away with answers for them.

 

- You won't be asked to reveal any information about yourself or your partner unless you want to.  You can attend and participate and still keep your information private.

 

- Wear casual clothing and be comfortable. We will take several short breaks and a lunch break. 

- The program is non-denominational and is appropriate for any stepfamily couple regardless of religious denomination. 

-Both men and women like this program and learn from it:

My partner doesn’t like touchy/feely stuff. Is that what this is?

Definitely not.  This is not therapy.  It is education and coaching. 

  • Men like our program because it is based on a business model of finding solutions that work and it is contained in the 5 part series.
  • Women like it because creates a plan and gives them security and makes them feel safe.
