I thought when you met your person, it would be so clear to me.

This is my soulmate.

And we didn't have that.

And so I was like, I think it's best for us to break up. How long were you dating multiple guys at once? Okay. Was it three people at once? And on top of that, I said that I just wanted to be friends. What was it like to have your water break? Every so often, it was just like a gush. Honestly, I could do that a million times.

Your waterbreaking felt good.

It was like the craziest most satisfying feeling.

She accidentally said, I love you first. I dropped her off at her house. Bye, love you. Yeah, she just said, bye, love you. Never mind. Never mind. Today on Unplanned, we sat down with the Quist family. Courtney and Alex blew up on TikTok. They're best known for their hilarious content on marriage

and parenting, but you probably didn't know they got married just nine months after they met,

or that in that time, their relationship almost didn't make it. We talk about meeting on a dating app,

why Courtney was so afraid of giving birth and how she avoided getting induced all on today's episode.

Courtney and Alex Quist, welcome to unplanned. Thank you. Thank you so much for having us.

I feel like we have a lot of fun things to talk about. You guys are new parents. I think your

relationship story is so interesting too. You got married, I think, nine months after you met for the first time. Nine months on the dot. With things moving so fast, was there ever a moment of like, I hope this is the right decision? Yeah, we thought, you tell them that. We broke up for about three days. Because I thought when you met your person, there was going to be this moment where I was like, this is my soulmate. And we didn't have that. And so I was like, since we haven't had that, like, I think it's best for us to break up. We broke up for three days. And then in those three days, I was like, never mind. I can't picture my life without you. Sometimes I feel like you need to break up in order to realize what you didn't have. Or, like, I don't know, you don't, yeah. How did you break up? Like, I feel like that's such a scary thing to tell someone I'm breaking up with you. Did you, did you do it in person? Did you do it over text? I actually kind of made her do it a little bit. So it had been maybe two or three weeks and she just kept on saying, I just don't have peace. I just don't have peace about

the relationship. And I don't know what it is. You're praying for peace. And so at one point, you just like, hey, like, I think maybe let's just give this a try for a little bit longer. But like, if the Lord doesn't give me peace, we should, we should break up. And I'm like, well, I'm not going to walk on eggshells for two weeks just waiting for you to break up with me.

You were both crying because neither one just waiting for you to break up with me.

We were both crying because neither one of us actually wanted to break up. But I was like, I was like, what's the point of continuing to do this if we don't know if, I don't know. I thought you had one person. That's what I thought for so long. And I was like, no. I was like, it would be so clear to me if you were my soulmate.

And yeah, I don't know, it only took three days for me to realize.

I was like, never mind, was like, it would be so clear to me if you were my soulmate.

And yeah, I don't know. It only took three days for me to realize. I was like, never mind. I don't want to picture my life without you. Were you dating him with the intention of marriage? So you thought you should feel a stronger, like, aha moment than you did. Our story is just like so complicated. Because we met on a dating app and then we immediately hopped on a call.

And then the next day we met. But before, before we even met, so that night that we hopped on a phone call too, I couldn't sleep. I literally woke up at 1 a.m. and I just started journaling and praying. And like I saved that journal entry. In there, I was like, I don't even know what this girl's last name is. Courtney Quist has a good ring to it.

I was like, you know what, this would be really cool if I read this on our wedding day.

And he did. And he did. So, like, I had a really good feeling literally just from one phone call. Yeah. And then the next day we met and then we just became friends. And then it got complicated because we were like, are we friends?
