Threats, Fights and Videotape (12x22)

Air date: Oct 09, 2013

Heather and Chris say their six-year marriage is on the brink of divorce because of their constant heated arguments, which they admit happen almost daily, in front of their two young children. Heather, a stay-at-home mom, says Chris is so controlling that he constantly accuses her of cheating on him, checks her phone records to see whom she’s calling and won’t let her handle their finances. Chris says Heather is only with him for the money and has gotten violent with him during their disagreements — some of which have been caught on tape. He says she has kicked him in the privates, slapped him in the face and thrown a tape measure at his head — all in front of the kids. What’s driving the couple’s anger? Plus, Chris recently filed for divorce — will he change his mind and agree to work on their marriage? Then, Kerry says she and her husband, Sam, engage in explosive fighting at least four times a week, and she fears someone will get seriously hurt. Can this couple learn to fight fairly?
