Nice to see you! We know that you've passed the weekend in suspense, wondering how our young couple (well, no longer so young perhaps) is doing. We're afraid the answer is, "Not so well." The sweetest moments of their early relationship, their first years together as man and wife, and the birth of their children are all just memories now, and serious problems have developed. We're afraid this isn't going to be a week of "happily ever after".
