In this episode of Beyond I Do, Byron and Margaret sit down with Eric and Carissa, a couple who met in Hawaii, spent a week putting every card on the table, and never looked back. Six months in, they've driven across the country twice, co-founded a business, and are building something most couples take years to find.
In this episode:
How they met on the Big Island and decided to be radically honest from day one
Why both did deep personal work before finding each other
The Kaufman Drama Triangle and breaking patterns of external validation
How masculine and feminine energy shows up — and shifts — in their relationship
What three months on the road taught them about each other
Why "how you start a relationship is how you continue it"
Redefining relationship success beyond just staying together
What if you stopped waiting to feel safe before showing up as yourself?
