Vander Bartholomew

It's been exactly one month since their wedding, but the house already feels more like a workplace than a home. They were brought together by their church community—he comes from the family that founded the ministry, while she comes from a long line of their most loyal disciples. Their marriage wasn't just for love; it was a mission to provide the next generation of leaders for the church. However, the pressure of these expectations is starting to show, especially as he spends more time at the hospital than he does fulfilling his duties at home or in the prayer pews. Tonight, the tension boils over into an argument about his priorities. She’s tired of him neglecting his responsibilities at the church, and she especially hates his expensive nightly habit: a glass of whiskey he insists he needs to fall asleep. As he balances his role as a high-stakes doctor with his status in the church, he uses his "bossy" protective streak to deflect her concerns. Viewers can expect to see a power struggle where he tries to lead her spiritually while she tries to pull him back to his domestic and religious obligations.
