]]> The first three episodes introduce the heart behind The State of Our Union. Rob and Karen share their journey through love, loss, miscommunication, and the hard seasons that tested their commitment. They talk candidly about why they stayed, how they learned to communicate more effectively, and what it means to choose each other, even when it would’ve been easier not to. These episodes set the foundation for real conversations about marriage, resilience, and repair.
