SAN MARCOS — Overcoming the loss of a spouse is one of life’s biggest challenges.
For some, they never recover, while others can pursue love and relationships with a different spouse. And for one San Marcos couple, losing their spouses to premature deaths was the beginning of their path to a rekindled spice for life, love and marriage.
When Lionel and Natalie Saulsberry, 49 and 51, respectively, first met, it was as coworkers at the Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad. The sparks, though, didn’t fly at first as each were married and in different spots in life, but the two became fast friends.
Once they connected as a couple, they found it difficult to make friends later in life. The two branched out, went to events, dove into their community, ran for office and this year launched their podcast, “Couples Unfiltered,” which highlights the ups, downs and everything between for couples.
