Marriage Under Construction was a home renovation reality television show that aired on HGTV in 2007. The show was hosted by licensed contractor and designer, Karen McAloon, and her husband, company owner and master electrician, Myles McAloon. Each episode featured a different couple who were trying to navigate the stresses of renovating their home while also maintaining a healthy relationship. The goal of the show was to help these couples overcome their issues and ultimately create a home that they both loved.

The show typically started with Karen and Myles meeting with the couple to discuss their renovation goals and any challenges they were facing. Karen would then work with the couple to develop a design plan, while Myles would handle the construction and electrical aspects of the renovation.

One of the unique aspects of Marriage Under Construction was the focus on the couple's relationship and how the renovation process was affecting it. Throughout the renovation, Karen and Myles would offer advice and counseling to help the couple communicate better and work through any conflicts that arose.

The show also highlighted the importance of budgeting and staying within a set budget for the renovation. This was a common issue for many of the couples on the show, as they often had grand ideas for their home but limited funds to make them a reality.

In addition to the renovation itself, Marriage Under Construction also featured interviews with the couples and their friends and family members. This allowed viewers to get to know the couples on a more personal level and understand the challenges they were facing in their relationship.

Overall, Marriage Under Construction was a unique home renovation show that focused on both the physical and emotional aspects of creating a dream home. It was a heartwarming and educational series that offered practical advice for anyone going through a home renovation while also highlighting the importance of communication and compromise in a relationship.

Marriage Under Construction is a series that is currently running and has 4 seasons (38 episodes). The series first aired on March 16, 2010.
