Couples in Conflict
Today’s couples are embroiled in conflicts
that may be tearing their marriages apart. Learn
more about their stories below:
Can ambition come between “’Til Death
Do Us Part?” For Bryan and Ta’tanaisha,
it might. For eight years, Bryan has been striving
to be a music producer with little luck, and Ta’tanaisha
is tired of the financial and emotional strains
that it puts on her and their family. She says
that she needs Bryan to contribute more with housework
and cut down on the club-hopping. To help resolve
the conflict, Larry suggested that they spend more
time together and work on solving their problems
through a weekly date night.
Penny
and Walter are caught in a heart-breaking conflict:
Walter is threatening to leave Penny if she doesn’t
undergo surgery to get her tubes untied. Though
Walter has willingly raised Penny’s three
children from another father, he wants a biological
child of his own and is willing to leave the
family if need be to do so. Larry pointed out
that Walter is a situation many men yearn for:
kids who embrace him as a stepfather and a family
full of love. Walter does recognize this but
still feels the need to father a child; stay
posted to our Guest Updates section to see what
happens with this compelling story.

Eric’s military homecoming from Iraq should’ve
been a joyous one, which it was – but only
briefly. His wife Jodi says that shortly after
Eric’s return, he started frequenting clubs
and strip bars with his friends and neglecting
her. Eric admits going out a lot but also says
that Jodi hurt him by not being more emotional
when he left for duty.
