Studies show that roughly one out of two marriages end in divorce. One of the reasons for this is couples today are not prepared for all - the good and bad - that may happen in marriage.

He challenges couples to keep moving through each stage for a lasting and fulfilling marriage.

A. and Elicia Horton explore the tension of two people becoming one and how spouses often fight over which "one of us" they become.
