Love and Marriage With Kerryne and Torrey Henich Part 2

Hey cubs 🐻💛—this one is a warm, real, and often hilarious look at marriage when you’re balancing big goals (like competing at a high level) with real responsibilities (like parenting and navigating a blended family). Jami and Greg chat with Kerryne and Torrey about how fitness became part of their love story, what true support looks like during prep (even if one person is eating a burger while the other has fish in a container), and why most conflict isn’t about “the relationship”… it’s about the pressure points: kids, schedules, discipline, and finances. Along the way, they land on a powerful reminder: resilience and trust are built through hard seasons—and healthy couples learn when to listen, when to speak, and when to stop trying to “fix” and just be there.

5 key points

1. Fitness was part of the relationship from the start—and it worked because it was rooted in support, not control.
   They talk about fitness being woven into their couple story early on (even gym dates and gifts), and Kerryne specifically valuing a partner who supported her goals without jealousy or resentment.

2. Prep doesn’t have to become “relationship drama” when both people respect the mission.
   Torrey describes being supportive through the competitor lifestyle—even when Kerryne brings her own food—because it’s her goal and her journey. The couple frames it as normal, practical, and even something others end up respecting.

3. Most big fights aren’t about love—they’re about logistics: kids, discipline, money, and roles.
   They openly share that their bigger conflicts tend to come from blended-family realities: who disciplines, who decides what, and how responsibilities get handled.

4. Blended family dynamics get extra complicated when custody and “outside input” aren’t equal.
   A major stressor discussed is how different parenting situations collide—one set of kids being present full-time vs. part-time, plus the involvement level of ex-partners creating conflicting expectations and pressure.

5. Communication grows when you stop trying to fix everything and start building trust—especially through hard seasons.
   They talk about learning to communicate better over time, how upbringing can shape “staying quiet,” and how resilience is forged by going through tough things—not avoiding them.
