Special because you

are here with me,

and I with you.

And because we

are here together,

we know we are on

the right path.

Know it.

And yet, there are moments,

past and future,

that we question that.

Why?

Because of an inherent weakness?

No.

Because of an inherent humanity.

A man is lost in the woods.

What keeps him trudging on?

Faith.

A man suffers terrible injury.

What keeps him from succumbing?

Faith.

A man's family is torn from him

long before their time.

What raises him from his bed

each and every morning?

Faith.

Yes.

Maintain your faith

by embracing your

inherent humanity

even in the face of

apparent hopelessness,

because when you put

your faith in Lord God,

sooner or later you

will be rewarded.

Your faith will

become certainty,

because He is here

with us always.

We are never alone.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Honey, what's going on?

Bram, tell me...

Hey.

Sorry.

I was trying not to

have that happen.

Are you okay?

I didn't wanna come here again.

I didn't wanna come

here in the first place.

It's fine, taking a

step was my decision.

We've covered that.

I know that my behavior

has been irregular,

but I've told you over and over

that there are some

changes, and...

I have to work through

them on my own.

So, I just...

- I need some time.

- You've had time.

- Weeks.

- Then I need more time I guess.

Sarah, how does

that make you feel?

Frustrated.

I feel like he's

keeping secrets.

Secrets he doesn't

have to be keeping

because I'm here for him

through anything.

Bramwell, are you hearing

what Sarah's saying?

Yes, and I appreciate it.

But if I decide that

something is for the best,

I think that my wife

should honor that.

Bram, you haven't

slept in almost a month.

You're barely eating.

Your behavior is almost

exactly how it was-

Sarah.

I'm not drinking, you know that.

It's a fact.

Sarah, do you know that?

My head does.

Bramwell, the position

you've taken is valid.

Ephesians asks that wives

submit unto their husbands

as they would unto the Lord.

For the husband is

the head of the wife

as Christ is the

head of the church,

and therefore, as the

church submits to Christ,

so let wives do

unto their husbands.

However, your position

has validity too, Sarah.

What you described,

and described on

several occasions,

is behavior that is,

to say the least, unusual.

And it seems to me

is indicative of

a larger problem,

but we're not going

to make any progress

until Bram is honest.

Are you telling us, truly,

that there's nothing wrong?

I'm honestly telling you

I need to work

through some things.

- For how long?

- As long as it takes.

I'm very sorry,
