In relationships, sometimes it’s best to move on. They outright refused to allow divine intervention to work its magic and as a result, their marriage all but fell apart. The Taylors brought a lot of drama on themselves by simply ignoring signs of when it was time to hang up the clothe. Keeping secrets from your mate in the name of protection is never OK, and like you’ll see in the film, it always comes back to bite you in the a**. If something is up, your mate needs to know - especially when it comes to a third party. He kept very pertinent information about Anna and her dealings away from his wife because he “didn’t want to ruin the experience” for her. There were SEVERAL instances in the film where John could’ve avoided a lot of BS if he would have just told Laura what was going on.

Do not rush - especially when deciding to get the know someone romantically.Ģ) Communicate with your mate no matter how it will make them feel. Relationships can do nothing but benefit from time, patience and observation, but this couple wasn’t here for that. The couple would have noticed that Anna was not displaying her true nature, but her representative - like many do when they want to make a good impression on someone. If they would’ve taken their time, they would have seen that Anna was not all that she led on to be. They, well mainly Laura, just decide that this will be their only chance at being parents. So they hire Anna Walsh (Jaz Sinclair) to be their surrogate…and they do so rather quickly.īecause of their rushed decision, they do not fully get to know Anna and what she is capable of. The film, starring Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall as John and Laura Taylor, is the story of a well-to-do couple who cannot naturally conceive a child.
