Wife Swap takes a really fun look at how couples run their lives. The Show lifts the lid on the choices different couples make: how they each share the house work, children, work and shopping and spending. Also what they want from their friends family and social lives. Its a rare insight into what it is like to live someone else's life and experiences. Wife Swap has the two 'wives' of each family trade places for ten days to see what it is like to live in another family's home. They have to do everything in this home including going out and taking on the other's job , but instead of returning to their own home, they return to their new family's home.
