24 | How to move to Denmark for your partner but make it all about YOU
Episode description
This week’s episode dives right back into our topic of being a trailing spouse when moving to Denmark. In it, Annie and Derek continue covering the unique challenges of following your partner to another country and how it can impact the relationship. They share the lessons they’ve learned along the way and how this massive change could have been a huge relationship stressor. Instead, it ended up making their partnerships stronger than before.
This episode will give you tools to face these challenges as a couple with real experiences from Derek and Annie as well as a listener of the show. You’ll hear a familiar story from a trailing spouse in the WAYDID community who moved to Denmark for their spouse’s dream job. They faced challenges like rebuilding a network, having an imbalance in Danish language ability, and not equally integrating.
Hear more about the trailing spouse journey, how to navigate it, and follow us on social media for additional insights.
