A turning point came when Zac found out his wife was stopping by a Chippendales [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>She continued: \u201cIn order to make the right decision for me and my family, I really had to take a step back and ask myself, \u2018How am I going to move forward and what\u2019s best for us?\u2019 You\u2019ll just have to wait for season 2 to see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That same month, Jen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/secret-lives-of-mormon-wives-jen-affleck-lists-zacs-acts-of-support\/\">praised Zac for how he supported<\/a> her \u2014 emotionally and monetarily \u2014 since they started dating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZac bought me my first laptop when he had $10 in his bank account. When I shared my dream of running a marathon, he trained alongside me and ran it with me. I told him I wanted to start my videography business, so he saved up money and bought me my first camera. When we were expecting our first baby, I wanted a place to call home, so he worked hard, saved up, and bought us our first house,\u201d she wrote via Instagram at the time. \u201cHe gave me both stability and freedom, which allowed me to post videos online and launch my career on social media.

No. Does he have flaws that we\u2019ve needed to address? Yes.

But do we love each other? Yes. Are we willing to put in the work to be better? Yes. Have there been moments when we wanted to walk away? Of course.
