Summary

Love Lessons from Ruth & Boaz (Season 2) Ruth & Boaz faced impossible odds and they came from completely different social backgrounds. Six years ago we faced one of the biggest challenges of our lives. Death threats, security issues, betrayal, moving often, reputation destroyed, unemployed, moving to another state with no home, no church, and no family. There is no great marriage that hasn’t gone through some trials but the key is to go through it together. If we’re going to get through this we’re going to get through it together.
