For The Sake of Mrs. Ever since Darla, Rachael, and Marilyn were young, they each dreamed of meeting their soulmate and getting married. The white dress, the honeymoon, the future of building a family together. Even after a divorce in Darla’s case, the allure of walking down the aisle was too strong to ignore. Yet, their fantasy of meeting ‘the one’ and tying the knot was soon shattered by reality. The ultimate price of becoming a Mrs. was different for each woman: a controlling husband, a secret polygamist, a lying criminal, a physically and emotionally abusive spouse. But, letting go of a dream is never easy, especially when you’ve pinned all of your hopes on it. With so much on the line, and so many sacrifices-moving to a foreign country to be with him, giving up a business and career, or putting your ambitions on hold to fulfill his, to the point of basing all self-worth on the success of the marriage-after putting everything into this fairytale dream of being a Mrs., could any of them afford to leave? And considering the reality they faced, could any of them afford to stay? All for the sake of Mrs.? This book explores the romantic relationships of these three women as they make choices, struggle with the consequences, and ultimately decide how to overcome their marital issues, in an effort to highlight their missteps and lessons learned for others who harbor the same hopes and dreams in their hearts. While self-reflection can be difficult for many, it is often much easier to look at someone else’s choices and see what went wrong. Thus, this book shares these emotional stories, enabling readers to look objectively at the love lives of Darla, Rachael, and Marilyn and give themselves the perspective to look at their own relationships and potential futures, to avoid the same pitfalls.
