What is it about vacations that can turn loving couples into exhausted enemies in matching T-shirts?

In this episode of Marriage is a Joke, we unpack why travel can bring out the BEST… and WORST… in marriage. From airport stress and different vacation expectations to overstimulation, spending tension, and “vacation versions” of ourselves showing up, we’re talking about the real reasons couples fight on trips.

We also share one of OUR vacation fights at Disneyland. 😅

In this episode:
✈️ Why vacations amplify stress and attachment needs
🎢 Planner vs spontaneous spouse dynamics
🧠 The “parts” of us that show up while traveling (IFS style)
❤️ How a reset tool can save a trip
☀️ Questions couples SHOULD ask before vacation
😂 And why sometimes all your marriage really needs is snacks and electrolytes

Because honestly…
A vacation doesn’t create problems. It reveals and amplifies them.

The goal isn’t a perfect trip.
It’s learning how to stay connected inside the stress.
