Is  your marriage teetering on the edge and you are not sure if you should file for divorce? Listen in as Demetrius and Emily Russell share how their marriage was at the precipice of a cliff and they found a way back to a married life they love to live together.

Demetrius and Emily Russell have been married 27 years. Twelve years into their marriage, they entered a rocky time and Emily knew she was unhappy enough to want a divorce. Emily, by nature, was an independent woman who came into the marriage with her own identity. She had a career as a Registered Nurse and became a Business Project Senior Analyst with a major corporation. Over time, she found that her identity was lost in the marriage and she no longer knew who she was. This was not how she wanted to live her life. Demetrius was blindsided when Emily gathered the courage to share her unhappiness. The couple separated in the home, and discussed divorce.

After a period of months separated, Demetrius and Emily came to the hard truth that they wanted to fight for their marriage. They share their inspiring story of the steps they took to regain the foundation of friendship they had when they first met and the resolve to save their relationship. Demetrius and Emily also discuss the secret sauce to getting out of the rut of living as roommates and building a strong foundation for a lasting marriage.
