• Ten years after their honeymoon phase faded in the rearview of their marriage.
• The married couple realized they were incompatible in many ways.

Although they appear to have everything on the surface, deep down they were at odds, when it came to their beliefs about money, Love and sex.

She believed in enjoying life to the fullest and not worrying too much about the future.

Their incompatible economic philosophies led to many heated arguments and fierce fights.

Their differences even branched out; beyond their diverse love languages and sex drives. Selwyn was a traditional man who believed in romance and affection.

Sarah, on the other hand, was a modern woman who believed in equality and independence.

Their sex life has become boring, dutiful and unpleasant. Caught between conflicting walls of unagreeable love languages and attachment styles.

One day Selwyn came home from a long day at work. Only to find Sarah fiercely packing her bags.

And bitterly yelled at him, about how; she couldn't take it anymore and leaving him.

But realistically; he knew they couldn't live together in agony anymore.

They talked for hours and realized that they still deeply love each other.

They decided to get back together. They were both committed to making their relationship work.
