"To Have & To Hold: Charlotte" follows the real challenges couples face, from financial stress, to issues with intimacy, to the ups and downs of parenthood.

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?
