I have definitely restored my faith in love and marriage, seeing that most times all we see negativity. I always had a closed mind to dating divorced men with kids, felt like it was just doomed to fail, This has thankfully opened my mind to new perspectives. Thank you for this conversation Cathy and Mike. Yes, we would love to have him back for more convo. Love and light to you guys.🧡🧡🧡 Happy holidays❣

Nevertheless, your marriage makes me feel good and hopeful. Not that i want to jump into any, but just to know that there are good (complicated) marriages out there and its doable!
