You know it’s true: we often judge what we don’t understand.
There are many things about stepfamily living that people who don’t live in a stepfamily find hard to understand. Mostly, people are supportive but not everyone. The Bible says in Proverbs 11, “A man who lacks judgment belittles his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his tongue.” From the outside it’s easy to criticize but those who take the time to understand discover that stepfamilies, like all families, consist of imperfect people who are redeemed by a Savior.
