Welcome. Nice to meet you,
I'm so excited. My name is Julie.
I'm Chrissa.
You're Chrissa.
Alexis.
Alexis, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Today we're going to be learning burlesque.
Get out.
That's not exactly what I had in mind.
Chair dancing, burlesque.
I chose burlesque for these two
to remind them of the physical intimacy they once shared
and to see if they can achieve that same intimacy again.
I'm super excited.
Dancing is how we met. That's what brought us together,
so hopefully it'll spark something back.
Let's just sway your hips side
to side, four.
Okay.
Three, two, and one.
And now hip circles.
Four. Draw a big circle with your hips.
All right. Back in the day,
like she used to dance on me, like sexy dancing like that.
But all the arguments have really took a toll
on our intimacy.
One step forward,
open up and four.
I think in order for us
to get our spark back and how we will get that back
is by being being vulnerable again
and she loves to dance and I love to dance, too.
Three.
Oh god, I sat down already.
So I think maybe
that kind of brought us together.
Walk around.
Yes, and two and three. Kick it in. Boom.
The instructor has
Alexis straddle me.
And circle around. Yes.
It's been a while
since we've been hot like that.
Bootie up.
Two. Push it forward and close and close.
Circle back and walk, yes.
Bring her in, push her back and up.
Push chair and yes. And walk and walk.
I think we made
a lot of progress.
She's showing a lot more emotion as she's trying things.
It is very, very romantic.
And big embrace.
Kiss her. Public.
I'm just excited
just to have our love back
and to be intimate with each other
and realizing that she still loves me.
[crosstalk] She just like choked me.
Hey, wait until you're home.
Now that Chrissa and Alexis
have found their intimacy in a shared activity,
it's time for Marcus and Tiffany to do the same.
Oh, yes, I'm ready.
Marcus and Tiffany
spend a lot of time avoiding their problems,
Tiffany with her friends and Marcus with his work.
They don't spend any time building a bond together.
I'm scared. Yeah, okay.
I'm going to drive like a little lady.
God, help me please.
For today's relationship
improvement exercise, I've given Marcus and Tiffany
the option to choose their own activity.
They chose Marcus's favorite sport, golf,
and I'm curious to see if he'll include Tiffany in his fun
or continue to push her away.
What are you doing?
This as a driver.
This one's going to hit the ball as far as you can.
This is what we start off with?
Yeah, usually yes.
This one, if you hit it right, it'll fly,
so that's the one you want to try first.
Okay. Marcus likes to golf.
When we got here, I think it really sparked his excitement.
I need to work harder on trying to make my husband happy
and making him feel like he's a significance in my life.
So I'm going to go in just wanting to have a good time,
no arguments, nothing.
I feel on this side, it's like I'm holding it wrong.
No, you holding it right.
You just got to hit the ball.
Where'd it go?
Dead ringer.
You know there's lots of golf
courses in Arizona.
I mean I'm not really sure
why Arizona is the prime destination for you,
but I mean we can visit.
Cause I want to enjoy
the weather all year long.
I enjoy the weather.
The sun.
I enjoy all the weather.
I know you do but I don't.
Well ...
Why don't we just talk
about it at least?
You are talking
about it aren't you?
I am but you're not.
I don't really want to argue
about it today because I'm having a good time, so.
I brought up the topic
of wanting to move,
which is for Marcus is very touchy.
I built a life for us
in Chicago.
But I'm dead serious.
And I don't see ...
When are we going
to actually talk about it?
I'm trying to get as serious
as you are.
But I felt like it was
a good time to kind of throw it in there cause I wanted to see
how he would react if he could keep his composure
when I brought up something important to me.
It's a tough spot
for both of us. So I don't know
and I don't really want to argue about it today
because I'm having a good time., so.
I mean, but I'm willing
to compromise
like we can build up the business at home.
Help me understand
what is the real reason that you need to move.
I just need a change.
Like I need a change of scenery. I still want more.
But we chase your happiness
at the expense of mine.
I chased your happiness these 12 years.
