Enjoy each other.
Be curious about the person beside you. Make room to talk, listen and laugh together. Connection deserves time in an ordinary day.
Real love. Everyday laughter. A life shared.
Twenty-six years together. Still laughing. Still learning. Still choosing each other.
We're Candi and Greg—although you might know him as “Handsome.” Welcome to a little corner of our life, and a heartfelt invitation to make room for more love in yours.
Come meet us ↗
Maybe you're opening your heart again. Maybe you want to feel closer to the person beside you. Wherever you are, we hope our story reminds you that tenderness, laughter and connection deserve a place in your life.

This is our photo from when we met. Look at those smiles. I had my arms around him then—and twenty-six years later, he's still my everything.
Ours is a second-marriage love story. A new chapter that became a life together. Greg is my partner, my friend, my Handsome. I value him. I honor him. And I love the life we share.
There is a lot of laughter in our story. Singing in the car. Being silly together. Those little moments that become the memories you treasure most.
My faith is part of who I am. So is this desire to spread love, light and happiness. Sharing our story feels like another way to do that.
With love, Candi
Honest conversations, lived experience
and plenty of heart.
Be curious about the person beside you. Make room to talk, listen and laugh together. Connection deserves time in an ordinary day.
Say the kind thing. Notice the thoughtful gesture. Tell your person what you value about them while they're right there to hear it.
Sing the song. Take the picture. Be a little silly. A beautiful life together has room for joy as well as the serious conversations.

We want to encourage women—and welcome men, too—to believe in the possibility of a loving connection, whether they're beginning again or nurturing the love they already share.
We'll be sharing more of our story, the questions that bring us closer and the moments that make us laugh. Real life, from the heart.
