What happens when 3 sisters sit down together and discuss cheating BEFORE and AFTER the vows? You’ll have to listen to find out for yourself. But one thing is for sure, there’s a lot of opinion, sass, and juicy stuff!

Cheating is cheating, whether you're married or not. If you're in a relationship , you're betraying their trust and breaking your promises. Cheating can cause a lot of pain and damage and it's one of the most difficult things to overcome.

Honesty is always the best policy, even before the vows. If you're cheating, or thinking about it, sit down with your partner and talk about what's going on. Why do you feel the need to? Is there something missing from your relationship? Can the two of you work together to fix whatever is causing the problem? Cheating is never the answer, but communication and understanding can go a long way in repairing a damaged relationship.

In this episode, Coach Maria and her sisters, Julia and Beverly discuss the signs you’re dating a cheater. Listen to their discussions about Sylvester and Jennifer calling off their divorce.

Woman sues man for $10,000 for standing her up on date: ‘He lied!

On this pilot episode of ‘The Vow’, Maria Allyn discusses with Vanja Beric articles relating to couples’ issues before and after the vow.

Maria discusses ‘Women share the tiny moment they knew their relationship was over’, sharing her own experience on how she knew that the marriage wasn’t working anymore. She shares, “One thing that I teach in my courses is that you really have to, before you even put your name on that paper, establish a foundation for your relationship. What are you going to put in place to make sure that it stays vital and vibrant and that you're growing together? And I think a lot of people just roll into a relationship.”

Another article in discussion is about a woman whose father had to hunt her boyfriend down because she had gone into labor and he was nowhere to be found! Now that’s an interesting story to discuss. Vanja shares that this is one of the most important times that we need our partners. If he’s not there for this moment, he’s not going to be there next month or the moment after that, and after that. What would you have done if this were your case?

They also talk about the controversial Duggard family scandal. Listen in as they uncover realizations that aren’t easy to accept as a couple, as a partner. 

Maria and Vanja discuss how emotions play a larger role in decision making as a couple than many people realize. Getting into counselling or therapy can be so important. They also stress the importance of self-growth and evolution as an individual and as a couple. Finding a partner who supports these can be key to a happy relationship.

Join them as they share insights, opinion and advice about relationships, challenges, and truths before and after The Vows. You might just learn a thing or two!
