Seven Year Switch

Four couples risk everything and embark on an intense and emotional experience, all in an effort to save their real marriages. They’ll say good bye to the lives they know and switch spouses with a complete stranger in order to partake in an experimental marriage for two weeks.

It’s the first day of the switch and the experimental couples are getting to know each other, in a brand new living situation. By the end of the day boundaries are tested as the couples re-discover what it’s like to build a connection and attempt to navigate their initial attractions.

The experimental couples are assigned activities to help them explore each other’s passions and personalities. Some couples are forced out of their comfort zones, while others become too comfortable. Tensions rise when the experts drop by with a surprising announcement.

Emotions run high as the couples cope with seeing footage of their real spouses with their experimental partners. Then, the experts surprise the experimental couples with overnight road trips where they are tasked to become more vulnerable with one another, but not everyone is ready to open up.

Now that the switch is almost half way over, the experimental couples return from their road trips and participate in an exercise to help build emotional intimacy. As some continue to open up, others begin to shut down. The experts check in on the couples and deliver a surprising announcement.
