Getting personal.

Bachelor Nation stars Brayden Bowers and Christina Mandrell got engaged last month at “The Golden Wedding.”

Brayden popped the question surrounded by their Bachelor Nation family, and Christina said yes!

Now, the couple sat down for a Love Fest interview on the “Dear Shandy” podcast, where they opened up about their relationship.

The newly engaged couple shared how they complement each other in their relationship, with Brayden sharing first.

He said, “I would say we have this sort of competition to outserve each other… There will be days when I’m exhausted and can’t get out of bed, so she goes and gets breakfast and takes care of everything that needs to get done. She is so considerate of me, and then on the days where she’s feeling off and needs the help, I cover it all and do the extra work.”

Brayden went on, explaining, “It’s that constant back-and-forth of being a team and doing it all together. If I’m having an off day, she helps out, and if she’s having an off day, I help out. We really want to help each other. And when I say competition, we’re not keeping score. It’s just wanting to.”

Christina also chimed in, sharing how her relationship with Brayden brings out parts of her she’s never experienced before.

She said, “Communication is number one and it’s not usually my strong suit in a vulnerable way. It’s not because I’m hiding it, I just try to distract myself. So to feel so safe with him and understand what’s going on in my mind and his and to have this safe space of communication with no judgment is absolutely a game changer. It’s not something I’ve experienced in a relationship before.”

Brayden said the difference between his relationship with Christina and all his past relationships is that they want to make it work.

He said, “We want this to work. This makes us both happy. We’re so candid in our conversations because we know even before going into conversations that our intention is to always work it out and be good because we love each other. Having that be the root of where we start allows us to be unfiltered and share that rawness. We are able to be so much more direct.”

The couple also shared how they fight and resolve arguments.

Brayden said, “We banter and bicker quite a bit. It’s more banter. We bicker and are so used to having differing opinions on a lot of things. Because we’re able to find common ground on all those little things, when we end up having arguments, we are so well versed in trying to find a common ground between the two of us. A lot of times, our arguments are solved pretty fast. We communicate how we feel and let each other know how we’re feeling. We often try to adjust because we don’t want to make the other person feel some type of way.”

Christina chimed in, adding, “I think more than arguments, we’ll have a span of a few days that we’re just kind of not on the same page or wavelength. I feel like that’s normal in any relationship, but if he’s been working night shifts or if we’re tired and we have Blakely. We have lots going on so we get off the same wavelength, so getting back on track from there is more work. It’s necessary, but that’s where we put in more work.”

When they have those moments, the couple said that they get out and do something just for the two of them to get back to feeling grounded, like getting a cup of coffee or going for a hike.

We love hearing from Brayden and Christina and can’t get enough of their Love Fest. Check out the full conversation below!
