Help, I Married the Wrong Person (3 of 4)
Series: Imperfect Love

The other night it was about a preacher's wife who "did in" the preacher and got five years in prison. I looked over at Tami and she had a tear in her eye. I said "I know why you're troubled, honey, and I agree. Five years for killing her preacher-husband just isn't ...
