We often applaud how MARRIED couples in the past would stay together, especially compared to today with the DIVORCE RATE hovering around 50% over the last decade. So, what does it take to defy the odds and stay together in 2021 as special guests, DUANE & ISABEL DRAUGHON, Co-Founders of VizX Design Studios visit the show to discuss the ups and downs of their 19 years of MARRIAGE and if it is still worth it? What were their expectations in the beginning of the MARRIAGE?  They now sustain a highly successful business together, but that was not always the case, financially facing hard times, even after scaling a million-dollar business to eventually struggling to pay the mortgage years later. Did those financial hardships put their marriage at risk, and what recommendations do they have for other married couples thinking about starting a business together?  DUANE also openly admits their MARRIAGE never had a hierarchy, so what do they think of those who suggest the lack of a hierarchy is the main problem with today's MARRIAGES? Individually what did each of them rely on to get through their tough times, especially those times they discussed DIVORCE? Do they wish their children to marry? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
