Winter lightning. Snow on the ground. Thunder in the sky. And one guy casually strolling back into Michigan after a 70-degree Alabama vacation like that’s normal.

This episode starts with thundersnow trauma, detours through Valentine’s candy that’s somehow still on the shelf at Walmart, and lands in a serious (but hopeful) conversation about marriage—moving from surviving → thriving → living on mission.

Jay and Laura Laffoon join us to talk about:

why “this too shall pass” is basically marriage survival gear

how to stop turning on each other and start fighting shoulder to shoulder

the 15-minute habit that can change your whole relationship

why the devil doesn’t always tempt you with “bad”… he just keeps you busy

and how mentoring other couples can actually strengthen your own marriage

Also: fries, A1 sauce, McRib slander, and at least one moment where we probably asked a question we didn’t want the answer to.

Hit play. Tighten the knot. Don’t get the honey sauce on you.
