For Your Love is an American sitcom television series that premiered on March 17, 1998, on NBC. The series was created by Living Single creator Yvette Lee Bowser and starred Holly Robinson Peete, James Lesure, Tamala Jones, Edafe Blackmon, Dedee Pfeiffer, and D. W. Moffett. It was canceled by NBC after its eight-episode first season, and was picked up by The WB for four following seasons. The series ran for a total of five seasons, with its final episode airing on August 11, 2002.
Synopsis For Your Love focused on three couples who try to counsel each other on how to deal with the opposite sex. At the start of the series, Sheri and Dean were the relationship "veterans," having been together for 15 years, married for the last four. Malena (Sheri's best friend) and Mel were newlyweds, moving next door to Sheri and Dean in the pilot. Bobbi and Reggie (Mel's younger brother) were dating, two "commitment-phobes" who were more devoted to each other than either would readily admit.
The theme song (a cover version of the song of the same name originally performed by the Yardbirds) was performed by Chaka Khan and Michael McDonald.
