Love Is Blind’s Taylor and Garrett Reveal Their ‘Biggest Struggle’ in 1st Year of Marriage

Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans may have made it down the aisle during season 7 of Love Is Blind, though they revealed that their first year of marriage wasn’t always easy.

While appearing on the Wednesday, November 13, episode of “The Viall Files” podcast, Taylor, 30, and Garrett, 33, admitted that choosing where to live initially felt like an “irreconcilable” decision.

“That was our biggest struggle this summer was working through that together and understanding we still love each other, wanna make this work, but these are real feelings that we’re feeling and trying to understand them and communicate them at the same time,” Garrett told host Nick Viall.

During their time on the show, fans watched the couple go back and forth about if they wanted to move closer to her family in San Diego or stay on the East Coast where they both lived when the show started filming. They did try out the West Coast, though Taylor and Garrett revealed they were moving back East to Washington, D.C. during the reunion episode.

While Taylor acknowledged that many couples face the same obstacle, she said that the dating show “tries to have people in the same city” in order to avoid “having difficulties” with where to live. “I think that’s what happens for a lot of Bachelor people — that they’re not in the same city and then you transition into this big relationship really quickly,” she said.

Taylor added that it was “hard for Garrett” to tell her that he wanted to move back East, though “he had to be honest so that [they] could figure out what a compromise looked like and how to move forward together.”

“There was lots of sleepless nights and tears, and it wasn’t easy,” she said about the decision to relocate. “I also luckily have a found a fantastic therapist that I’ve been working with for the past six months. And I think you can really decide at a certain point when you get married, is it for me, or is this about a ‘we?’ It’s really hard to describe.”

While recalling the experience on the show, Taylor said that it felt like “whiplash” to go from being “super single” to being married within a month.

“I know I gave you my non-negotiables going through it, and it really hurt when you were honest with me,” she told Garrett. “But I would way rather you have been honest with me than, let’s say in three years, you freak out and you’ve been holding this in and we never really got the chance to figure it out together.”

She then noted that “you can’t predict what happens with life” and most people “just wanna find a partner” that they can “figure it out with.”

“After I grieved it and figured it out with you and had a lot of difficult conversations and feelings, I think we got to the other side,” Taylor said about the coNFLict. “And we’re still definitely figuring it out.”

Not only did the couple discuss the challenge of deciding where to live, but they also opened up about struggling with their physical attraction.

“To be completely honest, Garrett and I were not attracted to each other at first,” she shared. “We were really in love with each other. It’s not because I didn’t think he was a good-looking guy and it’s not because he didn’t think I was a good-looking person.”

Despite having initial hesitations, the couple quickly adjusted to each other’s appearances during the cast trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

“In Cabo, [I] was like, ‘This guy’s really hot,’” she recalled, and Garrett agreed by adding, “100 percent.”
