Today we take a look at two couples who are at a cross roads: Jim and Barbara raised three children , the last child has left the house and is a freshman in college. The zest is gone from their marriage, they argue a lot, they realize they both have been restless and unhappy for a long and were staying together for the sake of the last child, and also because it would be a hassle to try to sell the house they live in and decide who should move out. Should they take steps to rekindle their marriage? Or call it quits? Paul and Dana, on the other hand, have a new marriage and one small child, Paul Jr., who at 4 years old is very attached to his father. Paul married Dana when his son was two years old, but is now believing the marriage was a mistake - it was easier to get along with Dana when she was just a girlfriend living with her parents. Now that they have an apartment together, they argue all the time. Paul wants to leave but can't bear the thought of not being around to raise his son or having another man enter Dana's life and raise his son. Should they get counseling and try to save the marriage? Or end it and agree to co-parent their son?
