Sep 21, 2018 by apost team

One quick look at Blake Higgenbotham's Facebook page and you will realize that he is a very committed father. In fact, he describes himself first as a father, then as a gym owner and investor. Finally, he describes himself as a powerlifter with the United States Powerlifting Association. If you glance at his photos, then you will see that most of them show pictures of his three beautiful children.

It has not always been that way for Blake. He says he and his ex-wife Heather were married early and had their children early.

Eventually, however, they decided to call their marriage quits. While it was rough in the beginning, they both say that they make a great co-parenting team.

That is why it comes as a surprise to no one that Blake took to Facebook to congratulate Heather on her recent engagement.

Blake says that he is happy because Cody Renick who Heather has fallen in love with dearly loves his kids and is committed to making decisions in their best interest.

He says that the kids dearly love the man and seem especially content that their mother is going to marry him.

Cody who is taking on the challenge of raising three young children lives in Warren, Texas, where he works as a streamline production technician.

In reply, Heather posted under Blake's post:

"We make a great team! And are so blessed! Its been rocky but I couldn’t ask for a better coparenting relationship than how it is now. What we always hoped we’d have for our children. Thank you Blake!!"

It really does take a big man like Blake to co-parent with his ex-wife and her new husband. If you find yourself in a similar situation, then there are several key factors to keep in mind.

What follows are the 10 Commandments of Co-Parenting that all parents should adhere to endure a smooth upbringing for all parties involved:

We are the parents and nothing shall come between us and what is best for our children.

We shall not put each other down even when the children are not around because it will eventually get back to them.

Remember to put the children first in all that we do.

We shall honor each other in our role as parents by doing what is best for our children at all times.

Thou shalt not do anything that would harm the other person's relationship with the children.

Thou shalt stay committed to raising happy and healthy children for as long as you both shall live.

Remember to embrace all that the spouse is doing as long as the children will be blessed by their actions.

Thou shalt not covet a person's relationship with another human being as long as it is fulfilling to the children involved.

Thou shalt look for ways to bless the other person's relationships as long as they are fulfilling their role as the parent to the best of their ability.

Thou shalt be quick to forgive and extremely slow to pass judgment.
