Ex-NFL football player Devon Still and his wife Asha married shortly after Devon’s young daughter, Leah, went into remission from stage four cancer. While rejoicing over Leah’s healing, they were soon blindsided by blended family struggles.
Devon and Asha talk with Ron Deal about how they had both been raised in divorced homes and didn’t understand how to create a lasting marriage. They began to learn about blended family dynamics and take intentional steps toward harmony in their relationship. They quit avoiding hard conversations, listened to each other’s feelings, and created new habits in their communication to connect well. They also leaned into their faith to work through misguided expectations and move toward love and trust, ultimately finding hope in a long-term relationship.
