Nineteen years of marriage means a lot of love, laughter, and heartache between two people. A lot can happen in nineteen years: young lovers might become young parents, maybe climb the ladder of responsibility in their careers, they might acquire a beautiful home and fancy cars and big screen TVs...and they might lose sight of each other and the love that brought them together. Ava and Logan McKinley are in the middle-marriage years. They both have successful careers, and they both love their children unconditionally-though in recent years, both kids have challenged their patience. In the midst of fifty-hour work weeks, little financial issues here and there (as simple as a forgotten bill), one child constantly in trouble and the other with a reading disorder, intimacy has been forgotten, sex is just another thing on a long to-do list, and every conversation between them turns into a shouting match. When Logan takes his wedding ring off and announces to family and friends that he and Ava are dealing with some issues, he's relieved to finally have some room to breathe. The trouble with creating a little space? It leaves room for someone else to fill it.
