Canadian Elementary School Sweethearts Urge Couples to 'Do Life Together'; Storming Social Media to Share Trend-Bucking Marriage Values

PRINCE GEORGE, British Columbia, Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Those diving into Dave and Nicole Rowland's ever-growing YouTube channel will get to witness the unconventional; Dave disastrously applying Nicole's makeup, the duo firing rubber bands at targets made out of toilet roll and even a poignant tribute to a highway-abandoned treadmill. But don't mistake this for comical whim; it's a marriage-centric lifestyle they call 'Doing Life Together'; and it could be about to save relationships around the world.

Dave and Nicole have, if you ask them, quite literally been together forever. Their relationship spans from grade seven to their present-day early forties, with a friendship and love still as fun and fresh as the day they met. After noticing that the commitment to actively work on their marriage allowed them to stay joined at the hip while couples around them crumbled, the duo decided to share their life and advice on social media.

So 'Doing Life Together' was born - a project spanning YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

"Our goal is to showcase what a healthy marriage looks like, as well as to interact with our audience to share practical tips on everything we have learned along the way," explains Dave. "We have been through it all, both as a couple and with our children. The difference is that we chose to actively work through and resolve adversity, rather than take the easy option of calling up a divorce lawyer."

Continuing, "Coming out of each struggle, we remained acutely aware that we can't live without each other. The same can be said for millions of couples, but they sadly divorce before coming to the realisation. This of course has a ripple-effect that ultimately breaks down wider society. We share many of the same struggles with these divorcees, yet Nicole and I love each other more and more every day. We now want to show the world what that looks like."

Dave and Nicole are breaking convention by opting for practicality over theory. Each and every YouTube video tackles often tough subject matter with the humor and (sometimes zany!) illustration of what is obviously an unbreakable bond.

"You'll see us touring the city discussing why we love each other, challenging our viewers to take the 'Cupid Cupcake Challenge' and showing just how much fun we have on our numerous unlikely daytrips and expeditions. But don't think that we're as happy as we are because we're lucky; we got there through hard work and perseverance. The good news is that anyone can achieve the same life, and joining us online is a good place to start. Let's all do life together!" Dave adds.

With the project rapidly picking up pace, all couples are urged to tune in as soon as possible.

About:

Dave and Nicole Rowland advocate that strong marriages strengthens families and thus makes society better as a whole. The duo seek to inspire couples, showing them into their world through their YouTube channel.

Their story is remarkable and unique. The first time Dave and Nicole met they were both in grade four attending the same elementary school. In grade 7 they briefly became a couple and, after initially splitting, made their relationship permanent at the age of fourteen; navigating the tumultuous teenage and torturous high school years together.

At the ripe old age of twenty they became a married couple, having already been together for seven years. They have endured the ups, the downs, the good, the bad and the ugly. Twenty-three years later they are still here, still committed and loving each other more every day.
