Perseverance in the face of adversity.There were a lot of circumstances that could have ended anyone else's relationship,without true love.
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
"We met through a mutual friend at the time, via Skype. My wife was a former college volleyball player from Monroe, NY. I was living in Florida, working on my music career. As soon as I saw my now-wife pass by, I was hooked and told my friend, 'Hey, who is that?' She said, 'Oh, this is Yeni,' and I said to myself, 'I want her. She is my wife!'"
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?"That would be the first pregnancy,our baby boy, Nathaniel. We had been together for about six years, and Yeni wasn't getting pregnant, which made us wonder about our chances.We started to feel concerned and wanted to get checked out.But being the man of faith that I am,I prayed with all my heart,and a few months later,we got our miracle.I arranged a baby shower and a wedding for the exact same day.I told my wife, 'Today,I promise you and our son love for the rest of my days.'
What would you do with $20,000?"The prize money will serve well for the down payment on a house, now that it is not only Nathaniel—we are five in total. Fifteen years together and growing stronger. True love does exist, but only communication, trust, and perseverance can take you by the hand until the end, for love needs cultivation, nurturing, and faith."
