About this audiobook
Hosts of the award-winning Whine Down podcast, Jana Kramer and Michael Caussin explore the raw and real moments of their marriage—what it means to love, to fight, and to sincerely forgive—with spiritual guidance and practical advice for anyone seeking stronger, more fulfilling love.
From the beginning, Mike and Jana had the kind of everyday arguments that drive even the happiest couples apart. Money, careers, insecurity, jealousy...And then kids, infidelity, addiction, and growing walls around their individual hearts. Many people would have separated. But Jana and Mike discovered something invaluable: While fighting under the worst possible circumstances, they learned how to fight for each other with respect, kindness, humor, and faith.
The Good Fight reveals how one couple decided to honor their forever love by battling it out and staying together, told from both sides. With honesty, warmth, and hilarity, Jana and Mike walk us through the details of the most complicated fights of their past. They show listeners how they've communicated, prayed, forgiven, and radically embraced each other to live their happiest, most fulfilling lives possible, and offer lessons anyone—married, dating, single—can use to give and receive lasting love.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thank you for having the courage to share your story to help others. This book is awesome! I have listened, or should I say started and not finished a lot of books, trying to find one that I can relate to. You captured and kept my attention by keeping it real. Wonderful book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So relatable to everything I’m going through. I love Jana Kramer, her strength, passion and perseverance is impeccable. I see my relationship very similar to hers and it gives me hope.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you're a fan of the podcast, this is a great extension of the conversations Jana and Mike have there. Hearing them read their own writing really allows you to feel the emotion and truth in what they are saying. It's reassuring to know that many couples fight over trivial things, and their own experienced therapy and solutions make for great advice to readers/listeners.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I think it’s worth listening to but I couldn’t pass the bad language in it. The S*** word bothers me way too much. So I stoped
Listening as this word was repeated at least 10 times and more or less 15 min. Too bad as it’s for sure valuable info in there - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Omg I loved this so much!! It is EXACTLY what I needed to hear and put into practice in my own life and experience with my own marriage. I’m going to start it again and this time TAKE NOTES!!! ???
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I need to buy 384638385 copies and give one to everyone I know. What powerful and relatable tools! Thank you for the honesty and guidance.
