What we love about this show is the honesty that Tracy gives to the couples. We were reminded that couples have to be willing to own their truth and not look to blame the other person for the problems they face within. She spoke about the importance of healing and we know that you can’t start a relationship or marriage if you have not healed from past trauma. During the discussion she shared about her experiences of growing up in Foster Care and having to overcome the fears of rejection and how they affected her past relationships. This is why she said its important to know these things about yourself so you can heal from them prior to a relationship or marriage. Surprisingly the space shared during this press conference with Tracy felt like a space of healing for so many as the questions came forth, about the expectations of the new season and personal questions. She was phenomenal and it is this amazing energy from her that helps these couples transform in many cases for the better! She admitted that not all of the couples make it through the process and some cancel their engagement right after the show. When asked did she have any favorite couples on the new season, she shared that she is not fond of picking out favorites but admits that some are pretty fun and nice to meet. Get ready for Season 2 and you may want to watch the series with your partner and discover your own ways to heal in your relationship before saying, “I DO”!
Check out the trailer for Season 2 below! Remember you can catch the show July 17 at 9pm on OWN!
