The Moments When People Knew They'd Found Someone Worth the Risk

"I'm Jewish and this guy I was seeing was Christian, and my parents really wanted me to be with a Jewish man. I was worried he wouldn't be welcomed into the family in the future.

When I mentioned it, he said, 'They'll love me, I promise,' and that confidence and attitude just made me realize how awesome, cool, and just determined he was. I knew he was right." — Jenna
