Rob and Di Parsons have had an incredible journey together. From humble origins in a tiny one room office in 1988, their family support charity Care for the Family has gone on to speak to over 1 million people and has helped families across the UK for decades.

But their story hasn't been one of unbroken positivity. Behind the successes of Rob's early legal career and the founding of the charity, they experienced huge relationship issues, culminating in the insight that they might be about to lose their marriage. Health issues, work pressures and family dynamics were all contributing to a relationship breakdown that nearly pulled them apart.

At the same time, they had welcomed a local homeless man, Ronnie Lockwood to come and live with them. Though adding to the challenges they faced initially, Ronnie became part of the family and lived with them for 45 years until his death in 2020. They rebuilt their marriage from the ground up and navigated life side by side.

In this revealing and honest conversation they share their secret to surviving, growing and thriving through decades of marriage. With stories and wisdom on conflict, communication, sex and much more, Rob and Di reflect on lives lived in pursuit of a better marriage.

John Bostock was a phenomenon at 16 - to this day he's still Crystal Palace and Spurs' youngest ever player. But his career led him on a different path than he might have expected, taking him across the world to play in Canada, Belgium, Turkey and France, as well as throughout the English football pyramid. But in the midst of all this upheaval, his marriage to his wife Sia remained the one constant. Now, for the first time ever, they sit down for a conversation together to discuss their relationship story, the challenges of marrying young (at just 18 and 20) and what John's teammates thought. How John's career has shaped their lives, their vision for what a strong and loving relationship looks like, their struggles in married life and how they are constantly working together towards the best marriage.

We also hear about the inspiring moment that led John to found Ballers in God, an international community of Christian professional footballers, which is by the players for the players. Now, a new season begins as Sia also leads Ballers in God WAGs to support the families and partners of footballers. They are working together to help the growing football family that they have built, to ensure that everyone in their situation can feel supported.
