Finding love again after a divorce can be difficult.
It’s difficult the first time around it’s even harder the 2nd time around particularly when children are involved. How do you successfully step into the role of a parent? How do you know that your past issues aren’t going to follow you into your new relationship?
One of the things that I’m really excited to do on the show is talking to people about the highs and lows of their relationships and how they’ve managed to work through those issues in a real and honest way or the reasons behind why some couples choose to end their relationships and go their separate ways.
In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Chyanne and Darryl Smith, hosts of the We Got This Podcast, in an honest, heartfelt conversation about how their relationship began, their biggest struggles and how their marriage continues to endure nearly 10 years later.
I absolutely love the fact that they weren’t afraid to dive straight to the heart of what was important to them and the realities and expectations of what they wanted and needed in a new relationship and wasted no time getting straight to the point.
Listen to the full episode to hear:
- How the realities of a relationship after divorce compare to Darryl and Chyanne’s expectations
- Why Darryl, who was previously married and the father of two daughters, really felt like the court system was not structured to support fathers during the divorce process
- How Chyanne, a child of divorced parents, really empathized with Darryl’s girls and took her role as step-parent very seriously.
- How not all step-parent relationships have to be filled with strife and conflict
- And how a deep and loving bond can really be formed particularly when couples start with a healthy foundation for themselves
