When two people fall in love and decide to blend their lives together, both are excited about the new journey they’re embarking on. They both anticipate joining their hearts, homes, finances, and children - that is until it’s time to REALLY make this happen. Most couples romanticize blending their lives and families that they don’t factor in how the others connected to their lives will be affected. And at times, when the process starts that dream turns into a nightmare. That was our experience until we got intentional about making our marriage and the relationship with our previous spouses work. After 15 years of marriage, 6 kids, and countless memories (both positive and negative), we’ve packaged our experience in a practical guide to help give those who are considering blending their families the blueprint to make it happen smoothly, and hope for those frustrated with their blended families and want proven methods to change the energy. Filled with anecdotes, supportive scriptures, and journaling pages here’s what you can expect from reading Blended And Loving It:+ How to effectively communicate with the other parents+ How to make decisions about the kids that everyone can agree on+ How to build healthy relationships between the children+ How to keep God at the center of your marriage Each day covers a different topic related to blended parenting. You will also have space to create your own blended parenting plan so that you can contribute to the success of your blended family. Our prayer is that you implement what you learn and trust the process.
