Marriage is hard work. Two independent lives are merging. Two different mindsets are colliding. Two different people are learning. But marriage can also be one of life's greatest gifts--just take it from David and Tamela Mann.

The Manns have delighted and inspired audiences through music, a string of plays and movies, and several television series, including Meet the Browns, The Manns, and Mann & Wife, and after 30+ years of marriage, the Manns are more in love than ever. Now, they're finally ready to share how they've been able to keep that spark burning all these years.

Join David and Tamela as they share the day-to-day challenges, successes, and joys that happen behind the scenes, teaching you how to:

• Put forgiveness, laughter, intimacy, and faith at the center of your relationship
• Embrace hope, no matter what obstacles you're facing
• Find the blessings in your own story

Praise for Us Against the World:

"When I think about David and Tam and the love they share, all the horrible things I've heard about marriage are chipped away--and in their place, slivers of light and hope shine through. Their type of love, guided by honor and respect, is what can heal couples. David and Tamela are here to offer their love and wisdom in Us Against the World. Their experience, understanding, faith, and love are invaluable. Take heart."

--Tyler Perry, award-winning actor, director, and producer
