Love, sometimes doesn't work out the way that we want it to. But, as Ashley describes in this interview with the Love Story Thief, it doesn't make it any less real and it still changes us.

Photo_small The heartache almost made it not worth having a three year relationship for Ashley. Almost. But even though it didn't work out the way she had hoped in marriage, she still finds that herself changed, for the better, because of love.

After four years of dating, Derek popped the question and Kamilah accepted his proposal. But as Kamilah describes in this interview, it wasn't the years before but the subsequent break-up and counseling that really brought them together and showed her what love was, and, more importantly, how to keep it. She also dispenses some good love advice to your LST hostess, always looking for some hints on how to make love work.

I was in Jordan, visiting the home of some new friends. As I was asking the mother of the family about life and love in Jordan, one of the sons who was translating the conversation from English to Arabic and back told me his own story of being in love with an Indian girl. I had to record his story, but sadly, we were interrupted by a family member and couldn't continue the interview.  Though they are in love and he wants to marry her, his family forbids the relationship because she is not Muslim. His parents think he ended the relationship, but secretly, they are still together and he plans to marry her, no matter what.
