Saving Our Marriage is a reality TV marriage coaching show in which five interesting couples learn how to build a healthy and loving marriage.
In the show, the couples constantly plug back into the reality of their marriages, which is not really fun to do.
The couples are filmed in their day-to-day lives from Monday to Thursday. On Friday, they move into the couples retreat for the weekend. Here they are put through tasks and counselling by resident experts Paul Nyamuda and Ilze Alberts.
From time to time, other experts will come on the show to address very specific issues. They will include a financial coach and a life coach.
The couples include some who’ve been married for decades and others who have been married for half a decade.
Saving our Marriage will address the issue of communication between couples, working through what one doesn’t like about one’s partner, money issues and how careers impact on marriages.

Weddings can be very expensive, especially when you want your big day to be perfect. Deciding what to spend money on for the day can get exhausting and it’s not very romantic for either partner, especially when they want different things.
With the help of experienced wedding planners, the couples attend three different weddings; using the bride’s budget, the groom’s budget and what they can actually afford.
But they are kept in the dark until the experiment is over. Then they are left to decide on the wedding and budget they want. Will they eventually agree?
