Love and Marriage: Kerryne and Torrey Henich Part 1

Hey Fit Body Lifers —this one is equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply real. Jami and Greg welcome Kerryne Henich and Torrey Henich to talk about love that’s been tested, rebuilt, and chosen on purpose. They start with a fun origin story—Kerryne and Torrey first crossed paths way back in middle school (yes, really!), growing up just a couple blocks apart and eventually attending the same schools.

From there, the conversation gets beautifully honest about second marriages and what it takes to prepare yourself for a healthier relationship after a difficult one. Kerryne shares that her prior marriage lasted 16 years and was toxic, leaving her with trust issues—so she committed to serious healing work, including years of therapy, before she could truly receive the kind of love she wanted.

They also talk candidly about the timeline realities of moving on: Kerryne and Torrey met during her separation, and her divorce was finalized about six months later—with the reminder that emotionally, she’d been “done” long before paperwork caught up.

And because marriage isn’t just romance—it’s real life—Torrey and Kerryne keep it playful while admitting marriage isn’t always easy (even down to the “we were mad and didn’t want to cuddle” moments 😅). They frame those bumps as normal, workable, and part of building something strong.

5 key points

1. Sometimes your love story starts earlier than you think.
   Kerryne and Torrey’s connection goes back to childhood—middle school neighbors to shared schools—showing how relationships can have long roots even if the “right timing” comes later.

2. Healing is part of the relationship work—especially after a hard marriage.
   Kerryne describes a 16-year marriage that wasn’t healthy, and how therapy and personal growth helped her rebuild trust and self-worth.

3. Second marriages take intention—because you’re not starting from scratch.
   They talk about meeting during separation and the emotional “unwinding” that often happens long before the legal end date.

4. Blended families add complexity—so communication and structure matter.
   Their family includes five kids total, and they discuss the realities of coordinating schedules and navigating relationships in a blended home.

5. Good marriages still have conflict—what matters is how you repair.
   Kerryne and Torrey normalize disagreements (“marriage isn’t always easy”) and model owning your part, laughing, and moving forward as a team.
