You can't be a ride or die unless you have commitment: a pledge or promise binding yourself to another intellectually or emotionally. Staying together means we must be willing to change, grow and forgive. Often we'll need to heal, understand and be vulnerable and we may need to learn to be in our relationship in a way we've never seen.

Darius and Courtney Lloyd fought for their love and had to unlearn many things they saw growing up so that their marriage could blossom. We often see and experience toxic behaviors as children, and until we know and work to do better, we often show up being and doing what we saw growing up.

We'll discover more about the power of love in their relationship success, and we'll tap into their journey of growing together. Tune in with us today.
