We Re-Do

It is the stuff of childhood dreams: standing at the altar and pledging to love each other for better or for worse. The unfortunate truth is that many people who are or who have been married, really don't know what they are agreeing to; the nightmare of how bad "worse" can get. Stacia and Ed Gowens invite you to travel with them on a "Fantastic Voyage" of TRUE love. From starry eyed, completely smitten youngsters to busy parents of young children and then into the brick wall; infidelity times two. The story is told from three sides; Stacia's, "She-Do", Ed's "He-Do" their common reflections and experiences, "We-Do". Along the way, you will sing, dance and reminisce along a musical journey. Beginning with their Young Love (Janet Jackson) to their first big cross-country relocation with Motown Philly (Boyz II Men), their Confessions (Usher) and ultimately end with where their relationship is today, Endless Love (Diana Ross & Lionel Richie). As each phase of their relationship unfolds, the warning signs that were ignored, common marriage obstacles to look out for, and key lessons learned are revealed as a guide to help other couples avoid the pain that they endured. There is sadness, humor, and joy in how they didn't just survive, but found a way back to a thriving, healthy and loving relationship. By building a trusted, supportive village before they needed to hit the emergency button, learning the importance of communicating in truth and how to do so while honoring each other, and trusting in God, even when it didn't seem like He was paying attention, they were able to overcome a vow people often make to themselves, "I will never stay with someone who cheats on me!"The Gowens' stories are a testament to being able to work through "the worse". They relished in the rediscovery, the recommitment and the re-birth of their union and the marriage vows that they made to one another almost twenty-five years ago that has now been imprinted in their hearts and souls. Now and forever, they are So in Love (Jill Scott feat. Anthony Hamilton)!
