Chip and Joanna Gaines Open Up About the 'Hard' Moments of Their Marriage
Chip and Joanna Gaines are the cutest married couple around, but they’re business partners, as well.
The former Fixer Upper stars discussed the ups and downs of working together and raising their family.
Chip and Joanna Gaines are the picture of marriage goals, but even the Fixer Upper stars admit it’s not always easy.
The future network moguls opened up about their relationship at the INBOUND conference, sharing candid details about what it’s like to work with your spouse.
“This is a very hard thing to do, to work together with someone you also have a relationship and family with,” Chip said, according to People. “We definitely disagree. It’s not perfect.”
Despite not seeing eye-to-eye on everything, the two make it work with one simple rule.
“Our secret ingredient to our marriage and working relationship is a solid mutual respect,” Chip said. "A lot of hard work goes into this, but if you can get to a mutual place of respect, you can change the world.”

Joanna added that their varying personalities—Joanna as the careful planner, and Chip as the goofy risk-taker—are the keys to their success, as well.
“We’re this odd yin and yang, this whole opposites attract,” she told the crowd. “I would argue that at the end of the day, we learned early that we’re a lot stronger and powerful when we’re pulling together, as [opposed] to pulling against each other. We’re a powerful force when we operate like that.”
That’s an understatement, considering the famous duo have starred on a super-popular HGTV show, are about to launch their Magnolia network, have multiple product lines, and have written several books. Plus, they have five kids on top of it all.
Forget power couple—Chip and Jo are a super couple!
