A coffee date that ran six hours, a Trader Joe’s aisle dance, and a moment of unexpected safety—that’s how our second chance began. We open up about finding love after 50, where the spark is real but the work is what keeps it alive: naming baggage, repairing quickly, and building trust that lets you rest instead of perform.

We talk through the messy middle most people skip: saying no to passive aggression, asking whether a reaction is about us or the past, and the hard pause that led to a Valentine’s breakup and a stronger reconciliation. You’ll hear how we used simple tools—value lists, premarital counseling, and clear boundaries with adult kids—to turn chemistry into a shared roadmap. We wanted a relationship shaped by faith, honesty, and humor, so our choices reflected that, from a Lord of the Rings wink at the wedding to buying a few new items that made our house feel like ours, not his or hers.

If you’re dating after divorce or navigating a second marriage, expect real talk on intimacy, triggers, separate bedrooms, and why repair is the secret skill that beats any “type.” We share practical questions to ask early, what to prioritize over looks, and how to protect your bond while honoring family and independence. Press play for an honest look at later-life love that is safer, braver, and, yes, fun.
