Couples in Business: John & Terri Sonnhalter of Sonnhalter

In This Episode

Today we were joined on the show by business owners John and Terri Sonnhalter. Oh yeah, they also happen to be Adam’s parents!  They shared with us their 40+ year journey of working together in a business as spouses.  We heard from John a few years ago when he appeared on our show back in January 2020 (see below for a link to that show).  But this time, Terri got a chance to share her side of the story!


We covered a lot during our chat but some of the highlights include:


  • Have an honest and open relationship where you discuss everything;
  • Be sure to schedule little trips and getaways with your spouse as well as weekly or bi-weekly date nights; and
  • Don’t rely on trying to do everything yourself.

We had a lot of fun during this interview especially when John and Terri shared how they met and how he proposed while on their second date, even though he was already engaged to someone else!
