You may not know their names, but I’m betting their story will grip you.

Kim and Laurie Baird were small town sweethearts. Young and in love, Laurie was 19 when they got married. With barely a penny to their name, they had to borrow a car for their honeymoon. They didn’t have much, but they were committed to each other.

While on paper, things were looking good for the Bairds, in their home it was a different story. As success was building, their marriage was crumbling. With their three kids out of the house, things hit a crisis. After thirty years of marriage, The Bairds were at their wits end. They ended up separating, sitting on the knife-edge of divorce.

There was hurt, shame, and anger. But then they made an unexpected choice. They held on—just a little bit longer. And it made all the difference.

They don’t have a book, or an online course they’re trying to sell—they’re two people who have walked a difficult road, and come out the other side passionate about marriage.

Today, we’re going to hear their story, and pick up lessons they had to learn the hard way.

It’s all about perseverance, perspective, and hanging on.
