November 15, 2017, a day that will be etched in the memories of many, especially those who watched Dr. Phil's Show, a syndicated show on Oprah's network OWN.

A man, who had been married to his wife for 18 years and was a father to their four children, was left reeling after his wife announced her intention to divorce him and marry his Kenyan boyfriend, Kevin.

Kevin, a pastor and owner of an orphanage in Kisii County, Kenya, had met Sarah, a 46-year-old woman, online. Despite never having a face-to-face encounter, Kevin confessed his love for Sarah, who is 20 years older than him.

The couple plans to meet in person in February 2018, with Kevin hoping to join Sarah in the United States and become a U.S. citizen.

However, Sarah's husband, Keith, is not convinced that his wife will not abandon him once she visits Kevin in Kenya. He hopes that she will reconsider her decision and abandon the plan.

As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen whether love will conquer all, or if age will be a significant factor in the couple's relationship.
