(4.33 / 6 votes)Bradley, tell me how old you are, please.
28 years old.
- What do you do for a living?
- In-home sales.
Okay. And Lisa, what about you?
I'm 28. I'm a teacher.
Okay. Teacher.
And how long have you guys been married?
10 years.
Okay. At least we're in agreement about that.
Do you have any children?
No.
No children.
Do you want children?
I do.
Okay.
Bradley?
I just think we need to be in a better place
before we bring somebody else into it.
Okay.
Do you wanna say something, Lisa?
I love him. It's just that I think
people change. Don't you agree?
Yeah. They do.
I often feel like we become
a lot of different people
before we actually settle into who we are.
Especially when we're young.
We were 18.
I'm not the same little girl
that was in love with him in high school.
But I still love you.
Tell me what you want me to do.
I promise I can change.
Tell me, please.
Just don't do that.
I can't do this.
I'm sorry.
Bradley, don't. I'm sorry.
I don't wanna hurt him. He deserves better.
Better than you?
Yeah.
Why do you feel that way?
He's a good guy.
He's consistent and loving.
But I feel like we're roommates
and not husband and wife.
You met someone?
And he's showing you
everything you've been missing.
This new guy, he excites you.
He buys you flowers
and he tells you that you're beautiful.
He says all the things that Brad doesn't.
It doesn't matter to me.
I'm not here to judge you.
I just think, if you're honest with me,
then we can get to the root
of the real issues.
I'd like to tell you a story.
About my sister. If that's okay.
Judith. That was her name.
I knew her so well. We were so close.
We were raised in a very small town.
And our mother, Sarah,
she took us to church five days a week.
And twice on Sundays.
There wasn't a lotta time for fun.
From the moment Judith and Brice met,
something sparked between them.
They became inseparable.
They were the yin and yang to each other.
a strict hand on Judith,
but Judith was in love.
And so was Brice.
Yes, she's asleep. I promise.
Let's go. Come on.
Stop.
You see, love, for Judith,
seemed to be different from other people.
For her, it was all-consuming.
It was breath to life.
Most times, they didn't even notice
Gonna see you tomorrow.
Somewhere along the way,
she decided she couldn't fight this.
Maybe this was meant to be.
Or in her own words,
"Maybe it was God's will."
Judith was so worried
when Brice asked for her hand in marriage.
She just knew her mother would say, "No."
But she reluctantly said...
Yes.
I'll tell ya, if smiles were dollars,
they would have had millions.
Bye!
At last, they were together.
And life began.
They found this cute little place together.
I won! No, I won!
They didn't have much,
but they had each other.
So slow. Come on! What you waiting for?
And they were more in love than ever.
Brice's lifelong dream
was to work in a small pharmacy
that maybe one day he could own.
And Judith, well,
her dream was to become
a marriage counselor.
But that wasn't easy.
So in the meantime,
she found work with Janice Wise,
the millionaire matchmaker.
- Good morning.
- Bonjour.
Good morning.
Your 8:
00 a.m. is on his way up.- He's early.
- Yeah.
Okay. Merci.
Here you go. Yeah.
Look at those shoes.
Yeah? I didn't notice. Thank you.
They look like orthopedic shoes.
Judith, we've been
going over this for weeks.
Look around this office. What do you see?
