The couple will share stories about their marriage and Steven will perform some of his most famous love songs, including the artist's breakthrough crossover hit, "How Do I Love Her," which is now Top 20 on several general market Adult Contemporary charts. "To have Mary Beth do this with me is a first and what makes this so unique," Chapman said in a press release. He added, "If we can encourage even one marriage to fight the good fight and keep showing up, that is why we are doing this, together." <><
