Malcolm knows exactly what he wants in a wife—or at least he thinks he does.

When he meets Nevaeh, he is drawn to a woman who has built a peaceful, independent life for herself and has no intention of giving it up simply because love enters the picture.

As their relationship grows, so do the questions.

Who compromises? Who sacrifices? And does marriage have to mean sharing the same address?

Malcolm enters the relationship with traditional expectations, while Nevaeh refuses to lose herself just to fit someone else's idea of what a wife should be. Between family opinions, misunderstandings, personal growth, and plenty of humor, the two must decide whether their love can survive a marriage that looks very different from what everyone around them expects.

I Do, But From a Distance is a contemporary story about love, boundaries, compromise, and discovering that sometimes a healthy relationship doesn't have to follow everybody else's rules.
