1Opinion of the Court

McCORMICK, Justice.

This case involves an action for alleged intentional interference with marital conciliation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The questions are whether this court will recognize a new tort for “interference with marital conciliation” and whether the record is sufficient to withstand summary judgment on the emotional distress claim.

We affirm.
