ABC FAMILY AIRS �WIFE SWAP� MARATHON SUNDAY, JANUARY 15

Burbank, CA (Dec 15, 2005) � Have you ever wondered what life was like in someone else�s shoes? Find out during ABC Family�s Wife Swap marathon on Sunday, January 15 (12:00 PM � 7:00 PM ET/PT) featuring seven back-to-back episodes of the hit series.

In each episode, two wives discover that the grass is not always greener on the other side when they hand over the keys to their homes and literally switch families for two weeks on the reality show Wife Swap. In the first week of the swap, the wives move in with their new family and adopt their very different lifestyle. They agree to follow a manual written by the departing wife that sets out the rules of their new household. But in the second week, everything changes. The new wives take charge and introduce their own set of rules and run the new household their way. At the end of the show, the two couples meet for the first time. In a highly-charged exchange of views, both couples make a frank assessment of each other and talk about what they've learned from the experience.
