Rockstar Couple's Marriage Secrets Revealed
8 Oct
Summary
- Chantal Kreviazuk and Raine Maida co-authored a book about their marriage.
- The book explores their relationship's highs, lows, and a turning point.
- They credit couple's coach Dr. John Grey for relationship guidance.
Chantal Kreviazuk and Raine Maida, married since 1999, have documented their nearly 27-year relationship in their new book, "I'm Going to Break Your Heart: A Rock N Roll Love Story." Released on August 4th, the book chronicles the couple's experiences, alternating between their perspectives. It delves into the "highs and lows" of their marriage, including a significant "breaking point" that prompted them to seek help from Stanford neuroscientist and couples coach Dr. John Grey.
Kreviazuk and Maida describe their book as a "cycle-breaking" endeavor, intended not only as a guide for other couples but also as a personal testament for their three sons. They emphasize that despite the challenges inherent in rock and roll marriages, their enduring commitment is worth the effort. The book highlights their mutual support and dedication, framing their story as a testament to fighting for each other daily.
The initial inspiration for the book stemmed from the filming of their 2019 documentary, "I'm Going to Break Your Heart," which captured a difficult period in their lives. This experience, coupled with fan requests for more insight into their relationship, led them to explore other formats like a podcast before settling on a book. They found writing their individual testimonies of shared events, such as the birth of their children, provided a deeper understanding and acceptance of each other's unique experiences.
Addressing professional jealousy, Kreviazuk noted that while logical reassurances are helpful, feelings are not always rational, and partners must acknowledge and navigate these discomforts. Maida added that their coach advised them to protect their relationship by being aware of their partner's well-being, even in social settings. Kreviazuk also shared an anecdote about Avril Lavigne being the first person to hold their baby, highlighting their close bond during Lavigne's second album recording. Kreviazuk's upcoming album, "Rockstar Joy," also explores themes of marriage and partnership.
