We had so much FUN recording this episode!  I think it is our favorite so far.  We talk about ​our favorite Fictional Couples!  Sometimes we can learn great lessons in the most unique places.  And oftentimes we learn both what to do and what not to do from our fictional role models.  From the Cosby's to Ross and Rachel, to Rocky and Adrian our fictional heroes make us laugh, take us down memory lane, and show us how to love.  Join the Conversation on Facebook!  @loveandjesusjuice​.
