This is StRest! For her 49th birthday, Kerstin Lindquist sits down with her husband, Dan, in Montana for an honest conversation about 23 years of marriage.
Kerstin talks things through. Dan gets quiet. They discuss what happens when those two responses meet, what it is like to share a marriage with someone in the public eye, and why knowing what needs to change does not always make change easy. Dan opens up about his experience with ADHD, his routines and the challenge of taking action before a crisis forces him to.
The conversation turns to some of their hardest seasons: infertility, miscarriages, an adoption that did not go forward, the loss of Kerstin’s mother and Dan’s experience in rehab. They reflect on the pain their family has faced and how they are learning to find joy while life still feels hard.
They also get candid about perimenopause, parenting teenagers, different levels of sexual desire and the ways each of them feels loved. For Dan, touch brings reassurance. For Kerstin, help with everyday responsibilities matters. Their discussion of faith is just as honest, including their different views on praying together, marriage counseling and what it means to lead and support a family.
There is plenty of laughter, too: dishwasher disagreements, their first date and the habits that drive each other crazy. They close with why they continue to choose each other and do the work their marriage needs.
