"It wasn't my decision for you to come back that was between you and my mom. I had nothing to do with it." Roberta stood transfixed, feeling belittled and unwanted as her husband's words sliced through her. She watched him step into the shower after delivering the verbal blow. She retreated from the bathroom, away from this stranger, the person she thought couldn't hurt her. She reflected on the words of a sermon preached by her beloved pastor, "marriage can be the most fulfilling relationship yet the most fragile. We don't fall out of love with our kids, we don't tell our kids I don't love you anymore but it's ok to tell our spouses. The very sacred institution that God himself ordained." This is a story featuring a wife who believes marriage is everlasting and a mother-in-law who might have loved too much to the point of being overbearing. She even turned up at their hotel door step during their honey moon. You may be reading this book because you are an avid reader or a curious one.
