Marriage felt like a dream at first — cozy mornings, sweet dinners, and endless laughter. But a few weeks in, reality taps Emily on the shoulder.

It all starts with something small: a forgotten pile of laundry. Harsh words are exchanged, and suddenly, Emily and Daniel find themselves on opposite sides of the living room, arms crossed and hearts hurting.

Confused and upset, Emily wonders if every fight means something bigger is broken. Wasn't marriage supposed to be perfect?

Through clumsy apologies, shared tears, and a few hard conversations, Emily and Daniel learn that love isn't about never fighting — it's about always coming back to each other afterward.

In The First Big Fight, Emily realizes that sometimes the greatest victories in marriage aren't about being right — they're about learning how to say, "I'm sorry," and meaning it.
