++the marriages

Even good marriages fail.
One minute you're standing on solid ground.
The next minute... you're not.
And there's always two versions...
Yours...
and theirs.
You...
I...
Both versions start the same way, though.
Both start with two people falling in love.

Nobody gets married
thinking it's gonna fail.
You think yours is the one that's gonna make it.
And so it always comes as a shock...
the moment when you realize, it's over.
One minute you're standing on solid ground.
The next minute you're not.

Do you have what it takes?
If your marriage is in trouble,
can you weather the storm?
When the ground gives way...
and your world collapses...
Maybe you just need to have faith...
And trust that you can
survive this together.
Maybe you just need to hold on tight...
And no matter what...
Don't let go.
When my mother left my father,
she didn't tell him she was leaving
and taking me with her
until we'd landed on
the other side of the country.
In those days,
it was called family troubles.
Today it'd be called kidnapping.

You think that true love is the only thing
that can crush your heart...
the thing that will take your life
and light it up...
or destroy it.
Then...
you become a mother.
