Why is summer the most common season for divorce? In this powerful and heartfelt episode, The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast host Ginny Yurich sits down with Rebekah and Gabe Lyons—authors of The Fight for Us—to talk about the unexpected strains of modern marriage, how childhood patterns silently shape our partnerships, and what it really means to fight for each other. With refreshing vulnerability, the Lyons share the lessons they've learned through 28 years of marriage, raising four kids (two with Down syndrome), and building a life together marked by both purpose and play. They reveal why marriages unravel when there’s no plan, no rest, and no rhythm—and how to change course before resentment takes root.

This episode is packed with practical takeaways, laugh-out-loud moments (yes, we’re talking drive-thru fights and dishwasher wars), and deeply moving reminders that even a broken vacation—or a broken rhythm—can become sacred ground. From connection questions to shared outdoor adventures to play as spiritual practice, Gabe and Rebekah show us that healing is possible—and worth the work. Don’t miss this one.
