What makes
a relationship last is the commitment of both parties to grow and develop in
their relationship.
We continue
this series with building a common front when handling your kids and other
issues.
If your
spouse is harsher than you when dishing out discipline, don't challenge that in
front of the kids. It's important that we have a common front so that the kids
don't play the "softer" parent against the more "strict"
parent.
It's not
unusual to have different parenting styles, but it's important to discuss
important discipline approaches privately with each other and not in front of your
kids.
Once a
plan is decided, don't deviate without discussing the possible changes in
advance. If the kids play mom and dad against each other it creates a great
deal of stress on the family and the marriage.
Don't fall
into that trap.
