Summary

In this episode of More Than Reality, we’re talking about the fight that wasn’t really about the fight.What started as a simple scheduling miscommunication turned into something bigger — and it made us ask: why do hard seasons hit marriage the way they do? We open up about: • Fighting about… fighting • Work-from-home misunderstandings • Danielle’s upcoming knee surgery and what that means for our family • Parenting girls through emotional seasons • Why hard seasons can either divide you… or refine you • And how our faith has carried us through seasons that could have broken us If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your spouse, misunderstood over something small, or stuck in a hard season — this one’s for you. Marriage isn’t about avoiding hard seasons. It’s about learning what they reveal.
