Chip and Joanna Gaines tied the knot in 2003 and went on to flip their first home and open their flagship Magnolia Market store before welcoming their first son, Drake, in 2005. In between welcoming three more children from 2006 to 2010, the couple was also busy expanding their house-flipping business. Joanna has been open about how much work took a toll on their marriage as they adjusted to their rapid growth (via People). 

Chip and Joanna battled it out while establishing boundaries to respect their vastly different working styles and protect their growing family. Chip acknowledged in an interview with People that between house-flipping, raising young children, and working out of their tiny flagship store in Waco, he and Joanna were in over their heads and lashing out at each other. 

He recalled the arguments they had early on that brought the couple to a turning point that, thankfully, only strengthened their business and family in the long run. But it was their different personalities and working styles that helped the Gaines find their footing and they went on to build an empire together.
