A "relationship" between a couple can be defined as a physical and emotional connection made between two people which is intimate with profound feelings involved. But, reality television has turned the meaning of a"relationship" into some kind of entertainment. There have been multiple shows following couples around an testing the boundaries of a relationship. The strength of a couples relationship is truly tested whenever they are put on national television for the entire world to judge how their "relationship" is not perfect.

FOX broadcast the show, Temptation Island. Four devoted young couples were transported to an exotic island. These couples agreed to live with a group of singles of the opposite sex. The overall point of the show was to test the strength of the couples relationships. There were three seasons with 26 episodes in total. The first season aired in January of 2001 and took place in Ambergris Caye, Belize. The next two seasons had bad ratings so the show stopped being aired after the third was broadcast.

After the location is selected for the season, the four couples are separated for twelve days. They are sent off to opposite ends of the island and coupled with singles. The males are surrounded with 13 georgeous women and the females stay with 13 sexy guys. Each of these singles are picked to test fideilty. On the last day of their stay on the "Temptation" Island the couples are reunited.

The entire point is to test the meaning of a true and devout "relationship." The couples are asked if they still want to be together or if they have chosen one of the single temptations. Not only are the couples separated but during the episodes the couples face a number of challenges. The couples test their relationships and find out the meaning of the word temptation.
