Hello and Welcome!

We met through a hashtag, fell in love across continents, and built a life before we ever shared a zip code—through voice notes, long flights, and a lot of real conversations.

Since then, we’ve gone through some things: a miscarriage, financial strain, health scares, business failures, and the messy, beautiful reality of raising two boys. We’ve had moments where it felt like everything was falling apart. But we’re still here—still doing the work, still choosing each other.

We’re not here because we’ve figured it all out. We’re here because we haven’t stopped trying.

This space is for couples like us—navigating real life, doing the best we can to stay close, and continuing to grow in love, even when it’s hard.

We created The Youmans as a way to share what’s helped us find our way—back to ourselves, and back to each other. In a world that pulls couples in a hundred different directions, we’re here to offer a little guidance back to what matters.

Real life. Real love.
If that speaks to you, we’re glad you’re here. There’s room for your story too.
