The divorce rate among Navy SEALs is over 90 percent, and the rate among severely wounded warriors is even higher. Erica and Jason Redman knew their marriage faced an uphill climb, because Jason is both.

In 2007, Jason’s patrol was ambushed by a machine gunners’ nest in Iraq. Thirty-seven surgeries, 1,200 stitches, and a grueling years-long rehab would follow. Despite all that—plus the daily demands of raising three children and running a successful business together—Jason and Erica’s marriage has remained invincible.
