This movie hits so many cords because it’s true that identity can get lost in marriage but beyond that is the communication and being able to translate what a partner need in their time of need. Great redemption of broken love restored in this film. Kudos to the cast and…

Honest comedy can be the best therapy.... at least in this marriage scenario. I think this is a good watch for newlyweds or couples contemplating marriage. 🤷🏽‍♀️
