In this episode, we hear from repeat guest Ron Deal, a leading expert in blended family dynamics and co-author of Building Love Together in Blended Families with Dr. Gary Chapman. We explore how the Five Love Languages apply specifically to blended families, and the importance of these languages in building strong bonds.

Ron shares effective strategies for step-parents to bond with their stepchildren as well as common challenges blended families face in building love and connection.

The conversation also delves into tips for identifying and adapting to the different love languages of each family member, and offers valuable advice for new stepfamilies on implementing the Five Love Languages from the outset.
