What is love?  What is marriage?  Put together is the nature of life, a continuum to perpetuity by the act of God. Love is a gift; marriage is an act to become one!  It is a paradox that could be abandoned, ended, severed, or eternal, selfless, and transcend anything of the world!

Marla and Dean were friends in the true essence of the word, they were in love, too.  Life had its way, not one’s choice but to conform to what fate was written.  Marla married Alan in haste without love, would their marriage survive the challenges of relationships?  Under an unusual circumstance, Dean married Chrissa who loved him and did her best to make him care, but life wasn’t kind to them, she died leaving Dean distraught. Would he find a second chance to happiness?

Clayton, partly disabled employer of Leah who was a live-in nurse assistant, found themselves in an intimate work setting, exposed to the extreme temptations that tangled and tested their strength, morality, and self-righteousness.  Would they fall in love or just succumbed to the lure of lasciviousness.  Was there a chance for love to flourish, and marriage to happen?

Lana, a decent lady both desired by Alan and Dean during their college life, was now open minded and a consensual partner of Dean in their love life, without restrictions.  Would the relationship be possible to end up in a marriage later on?  A relationship was a compromise, though without the certificate of the union, but as enduring! 

In your case which would be your life?  Take your pick!
