This movie, honestly to me is a must watch for all teenagers who are slowly stepping into adulthood soon. The amount of values that is hidden and can be seen is honestly uncountable. Good job Tyler Perry, point well pointed out.
This movie starts out seeing a couple being counselled by a marriage counselor. The counselor then offers to tell the woman a story. It all started from a small town where a girl named Judith grew u being raised by her mother who is a reverend of a church in their small town. Judith grew up knowing the Lord almost a huge part of her life. In that town, that was also the love story of her and Brice who later in life ends up being her husband. Soon they moved to the city to achieve their dreams. Brice being as a pharmacist while Judith as a match maker in a big company temporary before she could start her own practice as a marriage counselor. But the sorry thing was, they don't have money to do that.
One day, Judith got the chance to work with a rich man in the social media line named Harley. It was all professional and business at first until Harley moved on into questioning Judith 's sex life. Being all vulnerable and needy, Judith was affected by Harley's words. On one occasion where Judith was supposed to accompany Harley to other countries to promote software. Due to the reason Harley was rich, they had a good time. On the way home on Harley's private plane, they had sex. Although Judith disagreed at first, finally she gave in due to seduction.
Meanwhile, Brice met a girl who happens to work at the pharmacy with him who ends up sharing her stories of an abusive ex boyfriend. This girl, Karen who ran away from her ex boyfriend and hid far away. On an occasion when her boyfriend unknowingly came to the pharmacy scares Karen to even go to work. Brice being a gentleman, offered to walk her home and to work. Since then they became great friends. :)
After that sexcapade of Judith and Harley. Judith find herself difficult to stay away from Harley. Finally she gave in again. Finally she decides to stay with Harley. She begun to have so much of enjoyment of life where she had been missing out almost half of her life. Drinking, crazy sex everywhere and unlimited supply of money. Harley have also agreed to help her start her own practice in Marriage Counselling. When Brice came over to get her in a club drunk, she truthfully confessed to him that she does not want a life with him anymore and that he is not a phenomenal guy to her and does not excite her anymore.
Later on the next day, Judith return home to get some of her important items from home and finds her mom with other people praying for her. Her mom tries to stop her from leaving with Harley but Harley pushes her to the ground, dragged Judith out of the house. Back at his place, Judith fought with him and made him angry. Harley gets abusive and started hitting her.
Heartbroken and torn, Brice went to meet up with Karen. Karen consoled him and told him that it will all come to past. Later when Brice asked her if she would ever believe in love again or maybe love again she confessed that she has HIV. Later she continues that she was not longer running away from Harley. Being shocked and worried at the same time, Brice rushed to his place but to find his beloved wife lying in the bath tub dazed after the hitting from Harley. He rescued her out of that hell hole, returned and hit Harley like hell break lose.
After listening to that tragic story, She questioned and found out that Judith had gotten HIV too. That woman finally made her decision to stay with her husband and to end her affair. Later the marriage counselor makes her way out to the pharmacy and meets Brice. Brice addresses her as Judith and gets her the medication she needs. On her way out, she meets a woman with her son coming along into the pharmacy and greeting Brice with a hug and kiss. That little boy who addresses Brice as Daddy. The Marriage Counselor then slowly walks her way out.
Can you see how strong temptation is? Can you see how big of a damage temptation can do to one person? Temptation is so strong that even if you are a follower of Christ, it still has its way to make you give in. Sometimes, once the mistake is made there is nothing to be undone even we repent and apologize to Jesus. We may be forgiven but we still have to bear the earthly consequences in our lives. Sometimes, the consequences would be losing someone you love the most. Like Judith losing Brice. Sometimes the consequences can be for a lifetime. Like Judith getting HIV. There will be no more turning back time, picking the right choice all over again but to live with the seed you have sowed and the fruit you will be harvesting.
So please make the right choice. If you're married. Please stay true to that one person you have chosen and don't let yourself stray away. If in any chance there is an extraordinary person appearing in your life, please remember temptation can cause you to lose everything you had. Please think twice or maybe more before you really decide to give up everything and live with the mistake that has no cure.
If you are not married. You have a future so please keep your future bright and shining. The possibilities are endless and there will be so many opportunities and temptations in mind coming. Please think many many times before you do any changes in life. Be sure you are able to live with your mistakes before you regret for a lifetime.
Love,
Button
Sincerely wishing everyone to be strong.
