The couples featured include both married and divorced people from white English, white Welsh, African Caribbean, Nigerian, Muslim Indian and Sikh Indian backgrounds. The couples discuss their relationships, how they met each other, problems in their relationships, their childrenof mixed ethnicity and children from non-mixed marriages, and their families' reactions to their marriages.
