Prior to their romance, Joan resided in Maryland where she served as a private school administrator, while Chock managed his business as an insurance executive in Kansas. Although there is genuine affection between them, Chock’s unwillingness to relocate poses a significant hurdle for their future together. Conversely, Joan faces her own dilemma; moving would mean sacrificing her family ties and professional commitments. This geographical divide could hinder their ultimate goal of marriage.

Chock’s romantic history may also bring hesitance into his engagement with Joan. Having endured a 12-year marriage that ended in divorce, he subsequently fell in love with Katherine Goree. Their relationship was significant, marked by a nine-year engagement before tragedy struck and Katherine passed away in 2022. Such prolonged attachments could leave Chock feeling reluctant to rush into marriage again.
