Billy & Vicki Rose were living the dream –glamour, celebrity, and sports in New York City. But their lifestyle eventually took a toll on their marriage and they were separated for several years. During their separation Vicki came to Christ first, and then waited and prayed while Billy wrestled with addiction to drugs. He also became a Christian. Despite addiction and infidelity, Vicki didn't divorce Billy because she felt God was asking her to wait on Him as she prayed for her husband's salvation. Today, they minister to couples together.
