At thirty-five, I thought I had everything figured out. Meeting Emily changed my life in ways I never expected. When I proposed to her, I believed we were destined for a lifetime of happiness. Now, I’m not so sure.
They say the longer a couple dates, the harder it is to make a marriage work. Emily and Jake had been together for eight years before they finally decided to tie the knot.
