Therapy
1 August 2018 | by sanais_mom-83416 – See all my reviews

My husband and I have been struggling with our marriage. This show was recommended to me and I asked him to watch. What makes this so beautiful is we wait for the show to come on and not only watch together but remember US and how important WE are as US.

We have very similar experiences and can relate to so much. He says as a black man I get Yasir and this show doesn't just speak to the 90's but it deals with today's issues.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful love story and in essence providing therapy to save our marriage.
