Description

Esther says in this session, “a love story is between two people, a marriage engages an entire community of people.“ Here we see how that plays out when the relationship in question is the result of an affair; when it means the dissolution of two prior marriages and the breaking up families. How does this couple write their own two-person love story when there’s "an entire community of people" with a stake in the plot?

comparing being a biracial couple to an adulterous affair is offensive.

dude is selfish. it's amazing how easy people give up on their marriages. after 8 WONDERFUL years of being married, I can't wrap my mind around so many giving up. ( excluding obvious abuse, mostly speaking about the whole generic "we fell out of love" or "I needed to find myself" ... you didn't fall out of love, you quit working at it . go as far as you want, and travel as far as you will, you will never completely "find yourself" . I suppose I could say that I found myself when I found my wife.
