Mike and Kelly Donehey (Marriage, Bird Mites, and Michael Jackson)

Today I sit down with Mike and Kelly Donehey, married for 17 years, to talk about what marriage looks like when real life keeps changing: touring and travel, shifting income, and parenting teenagers. We dig into the practical stuff couples actually fight about: expectations when someone comes home from the road, the survival-mode routines that get disrupted, and why “he can’t read your mind” is still some of the best marriage advice out there. We also talk love languages, how parenting changes a marriage, the grief and perspective that come through miscarriage, and why protecting your friendship matters as much as romance. Plus, you’ll hear about some stories about bird mites, a one-time vocal collab, and a final spin into aliens and the moon landing. This conversation was so fun and full of amazing marriage advice and perspective! Listen and leave a review if you enjoyed this episode!
