Ask anyone in a relationship if they've ever gone through a rough patch, and if they answer anything but yes, chances are they're lying. Daphne de Marneffe, PhD is the author of "The Rough Patch: Marriage and the Art of Living Together," and joins Cheddar to discuss the challenges facing modern marriages.

The author also considers whether "more money, more problems," applies to marriage. She says it's essential to be honest about financial details when talking to your partner. Finally, she reveals her three tips to surviving even the roughest of patches.
