“I Found What I Was Looking For”: Love Is Blind's Zack Goytowski Reflects on His Journey With Bliss After Two Years of Marriage and a Growing Family

In a world where reality TV love rarely survives beyond the final episode, Love Is Blind’s Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi are proving the skeptics wrong — with a love that’s not just real, but deeper, messier, and more honest than anyone could’ve imagined. And now, on their wedding anniversary, Zack is opening up in a raw, heartfelt tribute that left fans in tears — and reminded everyone what it means to be chosen, truly and completely.

“I didn’t just marry the woman I love,” Zack wrote in a moving anniversary post. “I married the woman who saw me when I couldn’t even see myself. I married grace. I married forgiveness. I married strength. I married Bliss.”

“I Almost Lost Her — And That’s What Makes This Love Sacred”

Season 4 viewers remember all too well: Zack’s journey was far from picture-perfect. After proposing to Irina Solomonova in the pods and watching their connection crumble almost immediately, he did what few dared — he admitted he’d made the wrong choice, and asked Bliss for another chance.

She didn’t have to say yes. She had every reason to walk away.

“She had every right to shut the door on me,” Zack shared. “But instead, she opened it. She looked past my biggest mistake — and somehow, she still saw a future. She still saw me.”

 

That choice, Zack says, is what taught him what real love truly looks like: not perfection, but commitment — through fear, through flaws, through the wreckage of poor decisions.

“She didn’t just forgive me — she taught me what forgiveness feels like. She didn’t just love me — she taught me how to love myself.”

The Quiet Beauty of Every Day With Her

Now, one year into marriage, Zack says the life they’ve built isn’t flashy — but it’s everything he ever dreamed of.

“It’s coffee together in the morning. It’s long walks where we talk about nothing and everything. It’s the way she laughs when I try to cook and fail miserably. It’s the way she holds my hand when I get anxious. It’s how we fight with love, and how we always find our way back to each other.”

He describes Bliss as his safe place — the calm in his storm, the one person who doesn’t demand he be anything more than exactly who he is.

“With her, I’m not performing. I’m not chasing approval. I’m just me. And for the first time in my life… that’s enough.”

“Bliss Didn’t Just Marry Me — She Healed Me”

Zack admits that before Bliss, he didn’t know if lasting love was something he’d ever find — or if he even deserved it.

“There were parts of me I was ashamed of. Parts I thought no one could ever love. But Bliss never looked away. Not once.”

He says she loved the broken pieces and helped him slowly put them back together. And that’s what this anniversary means to him: not just a celebration of one year, but a celebration of being seen, chosen, and fought for.

“She is everything I was looking for. And everything I didn’t know I needed.”

A Promise, for Year Two and Beyond

Zack ended his tribute with a vow — not the kind you say in front of an altar, but the kind you whisper in the dark when no one’s watching.

“I promise to never stop earning the grace she gave me. I promise to choose her every day — even when life gets loud, even when it’s hard. Because loving her isn’t something I have to do. It’s something I get to do. And I will never take that for granted.”
