With Kailee: Love, Laughter & The Realities of Our Relationship

Hey, What's Up! It's Tommy. In this episode of Spectrum in Camouflage, I’m bringing my wife, Kailee, back on the show! We’re diving deep into what makes our marriage work, the struggles we’ve faced, and how we navigate life as parents of an autistic child. From finding our roles in marriage to dealing with stress, emotions, and personal growth, we cover it all—while sprinkling in some humor along the way.

We’re Opening Up About:

The ups and downs of our relationship and how we make it work.
The challenges of running a business while raising a family.
The importance of not keeping score in marriage.
How giving each other grace has helped us grow as a couple.
The role of faith and personal development in strengthening our bond.
Why I spend time hunting—and why Kailee supports it.
How to separate stress from struggles in parenting and marriage.

Practical Tips for a Stronger Marriage:

Don't cover yourself with leaves – A powerful lesson from our faith that helps us stop the blame game.
Find what fills your cup – Whether it’s hobbies, time alone, or just taking a breather, self-care is key.
Serve each other selflessly – Because relationships thrive on mutual support.
Don’t let stress divide you – Learn to separate life stress from relationship stress so it doesn’t drive a wedge between you.

Key Takeaways:

Supporting each other is key—especially in the face of parenting challenges.
Communication matters—saying what you need and acknowledging emotions can prevent resentment.
Marriage is a work in progress—and that's okay! It’s about growing together, not having it all figured out.
Faith and perspective can change everything.
