<p id=”par-5_114″><em>Love After Lockup </em>and <em>Life After Lockup</em> alums Marcelino and Brittany married and had two children after she was released from prison. But their relationship has been tested by a lack of trust and infidelity. Now, Brittany and Marcelino are separated and sharing custody of their kids. However, they’re still legally married, with each accusing the other of dragging their feet on the finalizing the divorce. Now, they want to build a healthier co-parenting dynamic – one that’s no longer driven by old wounds and unresolved resentment. As they unpack their past, they’re forced to face a tougher question: beneath the hurt, the history, and the distance, is their any chance of salvaging their romance? </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-melissa-and-louie”>Melissa and Louie</h2>
<p id=”par-6_4″><strong>Current Relationship Status: Engaged</strong></p>
<p id=”par-7_98″>Melissa has had a crush on Louie since high school, eventually reconnecting with him years later while he was incarcerated. Now, they’re engaged and planning a wedding. She thinks that tying the knot will fix the issues they’ve been sweeping under the rug. But he’s getting cold feet. Now, she’s exhausted and he feels frustrated that she doesn’t grasp how hard it is for a formerly incarcerated person to succeed after leaving prison. Will they be able to work through their issues before their big day or will their unresolved issues force them to call off the wedding?</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-alexis-and-julius”>Alexis and Julius</h2>
<p id=”par-8_4″><strong>Current Relationship Status: Dating</strong></p>
<p id=”par-9_86″>Shortly after appearing on <em>Love After Lockup</em>, Alexis and Julius welcomed their daughter, Julianna. Unfortunately, becoming parents did not resolve the underlying problems in their relationship: Julius is still sneaky and Alexis still doesn’t trust him. The on-again, off-again chaos has worn them both down. She wants to get married and see Julius commit to their family, while he wants respect and trust. Will working with Dr. Ish finally give them the tools to choose each other, or will it prove they’re better off choosing themselves?</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-justine-and-michael”>Justine and Michael</h2>

But a big blended family, starkly different parenting styles, and unresolved trauma are making it hard for them to move forward. Justine says than whenever things get tough, Michael reverts to “incarceration mode.” In response, she’ll do whatever it takes so they can move on. Now, she wants them to go to therapy so they can develop healthier communication skills and avoid repeating past mistakes. But Michael is resistant to the idea, since so many clients from his drug-dealing days were therapists. They love each other, but the power struggles and emotional walls are tearing them apart. Will <em>Relationship Rehab </em>given them the tools they need to save their marriage?</p>
