You Don’t Break — You Adapt | Marriage Through Chaos

In this episode of My Favorite Couple, John and Crystal welcome their very first guest couple — MJ and Lou — and nothing is off limits. From messy beginnings and “situationships” to parenting chaos, career stress, mental health struggles, and surviving seasons where everything hits at once, this conversation is raw, hilarious, and deeply relatable. They talk about how love evolves when real life shows up: kids, exhaustion, financial pressure, career sacrifices, panic attacks, and learning how to take turns being the strong one. This isn’t a highlight reel — it’s the behind-the-scenes of long-term partnership. If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding it together by duct tape and dark humor, this episode is for you. 🎙️ In this episode: How MJ & Lou met (and why it was a little messy)Situationships, timing, and accidental “traditional” relationshipsParenting overwhelm and mental health breaking pointsCareer sacrifices, long hours, and feeling like a single parentTaking turns being “not okay” in a relationshipWhy chaos doesn’t stop — you just get better at handling itLaughing through the storms instead of letting them winThis episode proves that strong relationships aren’t built by avoiding hard seasons — they’re built by surviving them together.
