On this episode of Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, Dino Petrone and Ashley Petrone sit down to share their powerful journey of building an intentional marriage — one marked by resilience, faith, and choosing the harder path when it mattered most. From early marital struggles and heartbreaking loss to living in a 180-square-foot trailer with three kids, the Petrones reveal how God used every season to refine their relationship and deepen their joy.

🔹 How shifting from “me” thinking to “us” transforms a marriage
🔹 What trials — including miscarriage — taught them about faith and perseverance
🔹 Why choosing the harder path often leads to greater growth
🔹 Practical ways couples can stop trying to change each other and start encouraging one another
🔹 How stripping away comfort helped them rediscover joy and purpose

Through laughter, vulnerability, and hard-earned wisdom, Dino and Ashley remind us that strong marriages aren’t accidental — they’re intentionally designed through sacrifice, discipline, and trust in God.
