Relationships are a mixture of moments of bliss, happiness, tears, and fights. Sometimes couples go all the way, and other times they end in divorce. What happens when divorce looms? Where do the couples turn to?
“Marriage Boot Camp” is one of the places couples turn to for help. WeTV calls it “the most extreme relationship therapy boot camp,” and you better believe it. The show brings together couples having troubles in their relationship — under the same roof — and makes them go through some exercises with help and guidance from in-house experts, Judge Lynn Toler, Dr. Ish Major, and Dr. Venus Nicolino. In the end, some of these relationships are salvageable, and others are not.
The reality TV show, which recently concluded its 19th season, is quite popular among Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers and ranks 481 among the most popular contemporary TV shows, according to a rating by YouGovAmerica.

Dr. Venus Nicolino -- a.k.a "Dr. V" -- has made a living out of dispensing guidance, on and off the small screen. But she's not convinced parents should treat the counsel of "experts" as gospel, she said in a Monday appearance on HuffPost Live.
The "La Shrinks" star and HuffPost blogger told host Josh Zepps she couldn't offer parenting advice herself, per se -- but she did have a few observations based on her own experience raising her two sons and nephews.
"One of the biggest things that I've learned as a parent is that you're constantly improvising," she said, comparing moms and dads to members of jazz bands.
"We know how to be parents," she explained, noting that she didn't think parents should "feel they have to adopt a very specific way of being with their children" because "that sucks all of our motherly and fatherly instincts away from us.
