“For better, for worse” are the words that two people who are in love profess to each other, as they prepare to spend the rest of their lives together as one.  But what happens when things in your marriage begin to fall apart?  Promises are broken, hardships begin to surface, and the person you thought you knew seems like a distant stranger.  How do you recover?  Where do you go from here?  Join us for a rich conversation with Rev. LaTonya A. Fakir, about navigating the challenges of marriage, divorce, and forgiving the person who broke your heart.
