Robert spent 25 years in corporate marketing and sales before realizing he wanted something different. Kay Lee grew up in a family business and knew firsthand how easily work can take over home life. Together, they now coach other couples to balance business success with a healthy relationship. We talk about how their own experiences shaped their mission, why conflict isn’t the problem, and how clear boundaries can protect both marriage and business. They explain how weekly meetings, defined roles, and intentional communication keep stress from spilling over into family time. I also learn why hiring out bookkeeping might just save more marriages than counseling ever could.Key Takeaways:Only about 6.7% of couples are both married and business owners, which creates unique challenges.Conflict can be healthy when handled well.
