Heart-fluttering romances, dramatic marriages, and every other shade of love thrive within the pages of fiction. But in real-life, several extramural factors chime in to ensure or worsen the survival of a love, fragile enough to be gone with the slightest storm. Netflix's relationship documentary series Blue Therapy showcases actual couples in a therapy session where they disclose their unresolved conflicts and hidden information, and their emotional distress. 

The show features seven couples who need to face their relationship problems through therapy sessions, which seasoned therapist Karen Doherty presides over. What documentable trouble in paradise do these couples bring to the table?
