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 guesswork 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. Give us a call or text us on the

hug hotline at 858-8-765663 or send us an email to Hugs at One Extraordinary Marriage.com.

it has on your body, I think that's just something to keep in mind.

And, you know, we start every episode with a hug.

A hug is really an opportunity for us to share what those in the one family are saying,

Before one extraordinary marriage, I had my intimacy priorities and she had hers.
