Atlanta Media were privy to a private Media Lunch with three amazing power couples from a new show on the own network. Pictured above the socialites “Alane & Yandrick, the fun couple “Christine & Darhyl”, and the Vegan, Nurse and health advocate Ursula and hubby Clinton. The great dynamic is that each couple pictured above considers themselves power couples and Christine and Darhyl are America’s Dream Couple and Lovebirds together since college. Darhyl has truly found his soulmate and they are elated that the key to their marriage going strong over 10 years is because they have a 48 hr rule (they do NOT go without having sex over 48 hrs). Interesting.

As with any ensemble couple series there is always the struggle relationship couple and the “This is the Situation” couple. You must tune in so you can make your OWN identification of who truly runs Charlotte. All the couples are definitely winning as relationships are hard work and you will see how each couple is dedicated to putting in the work! I think this is going to be my new favorite show now that Love Is… is no longer airing.
Own Describes the show stating the following:
To Have and To Hold: Charlotte follows the real challenges couples face, from financial stress, to issues with intimacy, to the ups and downs of parenthood. The tight-knit couples like to let loose and have fun, and while these passionate and often opinionated friends may have their differences, they will ultimately do anything for each other. As marriages and friendships are put to the test, will they have the love and strength needed to thrive or will some of these relationships crack under the pressure?
