Jason and Erica Redman know what breaks marriages. Jason is a former Navy SEAL who survived a devastating 2007 ambush in Iraq that left him requiring thirty-seven surgeries, 1,200 stitches, and years of rehabilitation. Navy SEALs face divorce rates exceeding 90 percent, and severely wounded warriors fare even worse. Yet the Redmans' marriage survived Jason's combat trauma, his grueling recovery, and the pressures of raising three children while building a business together. They apply warrior team principles to marriage, focusing on muscle-memory habits that strengthen relationships daily. The couple reveals their practical tools for building lasting partnerships. They emphasize genuine friendship as the foundation, supporting each other's evolving dreams, knowing when to give space instead of stonewalling, establishing small shared commitments, and facing conflict directly rather than avoiding it. Drawing from personal experience and relationship research, they offer concrete strategies for couples navigating life's toughest challenges.
