I've just married my 3rd wife, and I'm worried about her treatment by her adult step-children. What can I do to make things smoother?

You might try a group session with a therapist present. The therapist could act as a impartial mediator. With a guiding hand from a trained counselor your family should have a better chance at coming to terms with one another. If the problem is not addressed, resentment may fester and you may be in the midst of an irreconcilable feud.

Definitely sit down and talk to her about your concerns. Keep in mind, however, that she may be okay with the situation as it is.
