On this episode of FamilyLife Today, Ron Deal, along with hosts Dave and Ann Wilson, introduces Devon and Asha Still as they share their personal journey of overcoming the challenges that come with a blended family. This conversation dives deep into how they navigated both blended family struggles and personal battles, focusing on communication, faith, and intentional effort. Devon and Asha came together under difficult circumstances. Devon, a former NFL player, had to make life-changing decisions when his daughter, Leah, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. He decided to retire from football to care for his daughter. After Leah went into remission, Devon and Asha married, but they soon realized they had not fully prepared for the challenges of blending their families. Both came from divorced homes, which made it difficult to establish a clear understanding of what a healthy marriage and blended family should look like. Their relationship struggled in the early years, as they didn't have tough conversations about roles and expectations within their marriage and blended family. This lack of communication led to unnecessary chaos and hurt. However, they learned to lean into their faith and make intentional efforts to course-correct. They discovered the importance of creating an environment of empathy, understanding, and trust. This enabled them to navigate challenges together, and over time, their relationship started to grow stronger. Devon and Asha also discussed how critical it is to take accountability and seek resources to help them through difficult seasons. The couple admitted to feeling tired at times, but they emphasized that the key to making it through tough situations is not to give up, but to stay intentional. Their journey shows that when couples prioritize communication, faith, and intentional effort, they can overcome the challenges that come with blended families.
