5. Quarantine really tested their marriage.
Like many couples, being stuck inside 24/7 during the coronavirus pandemic led to many battles.
“It totally tested us but in the best of ways,” the actress told Us Weekly . But thankfully, they came out stronger because of it.
“So many things are put in perspective just being at home, and then you talk through a lot of things and you realize, ‘What are the things we have to work on?” Candace said.
It also caused her to reevaluate her work schedule as she loved family time so much.
Most of the star’s acting these days is on the Hallmark Channel.

They fell in love with wine-making after visiting Napa Valley. “We couldn’t believe this place exists,” her husband told Wine Spectator .
10. Their marriage has been openly criticized.
That’s because Candace shared that she takes a “submissive” approach to marriage in her 2014 book, Balancing It All: My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose .
This includes leaning on Val to make most of the family’s big decisions.
“I quickly learned that I had to find a way of honoring his take-charge personality and not get frustrated about his desire to have the final decision on just about everything,” she wrote.
She continued:
“I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work.”

13. Later, she even called out the naysayers on her Instagram.
