Love, Lust, Sex, Power, Romance: Kela Price asks, “Why Did I Get Married?”
Kela Price of todaysmodernfamily.com (formerly Blended Family Soap Opera)
I often find myself in a mind-meld with Kela Price, co-founder of the recently re-named Today’s Modern Family web site (it used to be Blended Family Soap Opera. Being me, I had my reservations about the “blended” part–but felt she and her partner Diane Green were right on target with the “soap opera” half of the equation). Kela and Diane run an informative, supportive site and Kela authored the tremendously popular “Healthy Marriage or Healthy Divorce?” that had us all talking recently.
I love Kela’s piece, “Why Did I Get Married?” and feel it’s the perfect follow-up to my recent ruminations about whether marriage is “necessary.” Thanks to Kela for permission to run the piece, and to Kela and Diane for serving all the modern families they do. Check out Kela’s article…and leave a comment!

Thanks Wednesday for posting this and thanks to Kela for writing it. I needed this! It’s good to be reminded WHY I put up with the insanity that can happen when there’s an ex wife and kids who wish I’d just go away in the picture. My husband is the WHY! Worth it!

Very nice article. I will check out new modern family’s site more often.
Why DID I get married?! I ask myself all the time ; ) But 13 years later we’re still here and it does get easier. Not easy, but easier.
