Jason and Erica Redman are ready to share the secrets of lasting love.

The retired Navy SEALs and his wife (who have been married for nearly 24 years and are the parents of three adult children) claim they don’t have a perfect alliance, but some simple basic rules help them shelter from the wind and turmoil, including the life-changing injuries he suffered while serving in Iraq.

“When I got together with Erica, I said, ‘Hey, it’s a really tough job. I’m going to go all the time. It’s dangerous. Sometimes, I can’t tell you where I am. Usually, I miss the holidays,’” Jason, 49, told people in an exclusive interview.

More importantly, he said he even quipped, “What you should do is run.”

“That started with constant jokes throughout the marriage,” he added. “I mean, until today, we often joke with each other like, ‘Hey, is it too late to run?’ Transparent

Instead, the couple found that despite the high divorce rates among Navy SEALs, nonetheless, outspoken communication and a sense of humor – remained the key to staying together.

In 2007, Jason’s future changed uncertainly when he was hit by a machine gun fire. The soldier shot seven times in the face and weapons, recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he underwent more than 30 surgeries.

He also hung a sign outside the room to warn those who were poor entering the door.

“Note all those who come in here. If you are going to enter this room with sadness, or feel sad for my wounds, go elsewhere.” “The wounds I get from the work I love, do this for the people I love, support the freedom of a country I love deeply. I am very hard and will be fully recovered.”

After 21 years of service, Jason retired from the military in 2013 and has since pursued a range of careers that have crossed the motivationality of the whiskey-owned Seltzer Company.

Of course, this is not the only thing that has changed over the years.

“In some ways, I would say that our relationship is the same, but it has certainly changed,” Jason said. “When you date, it’s a version of yourself. Then, as you get married and it goes by, you mature, and it becomes a different version of yourself. In the decade after that, your version is different.”

Although as they both mature and change – becoming “different people” with “different dreams”, one basic thing remains consistent: their “friendship and love for each other”.

He added: “Keep the same.”
