Summary

Get an in-depth and candid look into the fascinating 40-year marriage of my parents, and see how their dynamic can shed light on the relationship of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. I'm interviewing my parents to ask the questions we all want answered when it comes to a long-term relationship going through myriad ups and downs inclduing breakups, dating others, and going through social shame for staying through it all. Why is it still worth fighting for? Jada Pinkett Smith talks about this question in her new memoir, Worthy.

0:09.0	So maybe...
0:10.0	Get a divorce. It's over.
0:12.0	I sort of have been there where I'm like in agreement and yet still, here I still am.
0:19.0	You have experienced a fraction of what Will and Jada are experiencing
