On the other hand, Nikki felt inadequate due to the plan and Jeff persistence on following it. She felt Jeff was not very trusting with her in their financial affairs and secretly, she wanted a child now versus waiting a few years.  Instead of communicating her concerns with Jeff, she chose subterfuge to get him to allow her to contribute to their monthly financial planning.

Still feeling somewhat inadequate and under pressure not to mess up, Nikki develops an outlet which pushes them into financial jeopardy and it becomes a race against time to keep Jeff from finding out.  But, like the saying goes, "what's done in the dark, shall come to the light."  When the secrets unfold, Nikki gets busted in a major way and their marriage hangs in the balance.  Nikki and Jeff will have to depend on all that is Holy to bring them through.  They each learn a lesson in what marriage vows truly mean.  Can they look beyond self to see the bigger struggle looming?

In ‘TIL DEBT DO US PART, Michelle Larks has written a powerful and very real testament to the trials and tribulations couples can go through trying to make a marriage work financially, emotionally and spiritually.  She uses her writing skills to weave a very believable story around two of the biggest problems facing couples today:  finances and a lack of communication.  She presents not only the problems and the natural responses to them, but she also offers spiritual solutions. I thoroughly enjoyed this hearty read.  Though predictable in some aspects, the entire journey was one surprisingly intense and  inspirational ride.
