Here's a little tease about episode one: 

Perth couple Jess and David are in their forties, they're not married, but they've been in a long-term relationship for some time, and they both have children from previous relationships. Jess is an office administrator and David - originally from New Caledonia -  is a music teacher. 

Jess and David are here today to address a number of things that have been challenging their relationship - from different definitions of cheating, to trust and boundaries. Can David Integrate Jess Into His Life...And Can Jess Learn To Trust?
