7 Ways to Create Harmony In Your Blended Family
Blending two families into one isn’t easy, but with these tips, you can more easily find harmony.
When you’re first healing from a divorce, or you’ve been widowed, the idea of finding love again might seem farfetched. In time, you come to hope for it. When you find it, it feels amazing, beautiful, secure and satisfying. So you decide to get married or live together.
While this is a fairly simple and uncomplicated decision for two single people, when one or both of you have kids, it can be a lot more complicated. We want to live happily ever after. We want the fairy tale. We want the Brady Bunch in our own home and family.
But there are different personalities, different hopes and dreams, and even exes that factor into your new family. Finding harmony, creating happiness, is much more than just getting married and crossing your fingers.
You need to take action to find the harmony you seek in your newly blended family.
