Episode 9_ What Love Languages Really Look Like in a Blended Family

Описание: “You’re divorcing the spouse - not the kids.” This one quote redefines everything you thought you knew about blended families.

Season 2 kicks off with a heartfelt deep dive into what love really looks like inside a blended family. From the outside, you might see matching T-shirts and family vacations—but behind the scenes, it's 5 to 7 years of slow trust, silent sacrifices, and constant emotional recalibration.

This episode explores the complexity of love languages in blended families—how kids, bonus parents, and exes all bring expectations, wounds, and love styles into one fragile home. With raw honesty, humor, and spiritual grounding, this couple breaks down the Five Ps that saved their family: Pursue, Pace, Patience, Persistence, and Prayer.

Whether you're a biological parent, a bonus one, or a partner trying to navigate someone else's parenting dynamic, this episode will shake your assumptions and give you a blueprint for healing.

Key Questions:
How long does it really take to blend a family?
What do children in blended homes actually need?
How do you avoid “competing love” dynamics?
What role does prayer and spiritual practice play in blended parenting?

Leslie and Greg are a powerhouse couple navigating faith, marriage, and bonus parenting with refreshing vulnerability. They built My Dope Blend to share their journey and help others create homes that heal and are filled with love.
