From Estero, Florida, this is a one extraordinary marriage show.

We're being busy as overdone. Romancing is fun, and scheduling sex has taken the guest work out of wondering when you're going to get some. I'm Tony DeLorenzo, your co-host, along with my beautiful wife, Elisa. From coast to coast and around the world, thank you for joining us. It's time to talk sex, love, and commitment.
