Steve actually talked his wife into joining an online dating service to prove their love, but it reportedly didn’t go exactly as planned.
“I wanted a computer to mathematically prove that we were 100 percent a perfect couple,” he told CBN. But he didn’t make the “Top 500” matches of local men on Kathy’s list. Whoops!
He also spoke about their approach to disagreements.
“I have a new relaxed approach to arguing,” he explained to CBN.
Now, Steve works for Fox News and Kathy seems to be a housewife[/caption]
“In the beginning, I just make sure that my wife hears what I have to say. So I’ll say it a couple of times. If she doesn’t bite, I don’t jam it down her throat.”
He also said compromise is key.
“Rock the boat and try to prove you’re right, or go for the smooth cruise and wind up a happier person,” Steve said.

What is the 4-H club?
Steve is a part of something he calls the 4-H Club, and it is entirely about his marriage to Kathy.
Steve often posts pictures of his wife or the two of them together on Instagram[/caption]
The four H’s are honesty, handling, humor and handcuffs.
He told CBN the honesty is because liars always get caught, and handling has to do with solving problems quickly.
Humor is pretty self-explanatory, and just means that humor is important.
Finally, handcuffs is because “once you handcuff yourself to someone, be ready to throw the key away forever.”
