Summary
Kelly and Chip continue the conversation inspired by relationship expert Thais Gibson’s framework on the six stages of relationships, from the honeymoon phase to the inevitable power struggle and everything that comes after.
Together, they reflect on their own relationship experiences, unpack what modern culture (and shows like Love Is Blind) often gets wrong about love, and explore what it actually takes to build deeper, healthier connection over time.
This episode is an honest conversation about conflict, growth, expectations, and why lasting love is often much less like a fairytale and much more meaningful because of it.
