Whether you're considering marriage or you've been "blending" for a few years, this episode is for you!

Ron Deal is adding a new book to the Smart Stepfamily library called "Preparing to Blend:  The Couples Guide to Becoming a Smart Stepfamily".

The book releases on the same day we're dropping this episode and we're so excited for you to hear directly from Ron all about it!

This fun discussion with Ron will bring insight for you regardless of where you are on the blending journey.  And you might discover ways you can encourage and support other couples you know — your friends, co-workers, or family — who are also experiencing stepfamily life.

So, hop in and find out what next steps you might want to take in your "blending" journey.

You'll Discover:
