40 Days Without You  

Husbands fed up with their wives. Women who can't stand another minute with their men. 

We help by separating them! And with the aid of a coach, these couples see each other differently, while living apart for 40 days. It's time enough to recapture feelings for their partners: the love, the respect, and the appreciation.

This is an in-house project of Dutch public broadcaster EO, creator of 40 Days Without Sex-a unique show that challenges teenagers living a promiscuous lifestyle. 

In 40 Days Without You we challenge people who are unhappy in love, but willing to fight for their relationships!
