So why on earth did she let him go? Emily explains, ’Well, as far as I’m concerned, it’s not a question of ‘letting’ him do anything. Marriage shouldn’t hold you back. You see, in our marriage vows we said we'd support each other in our separate dreams as well as in our collective ones. And this was a once in a lifetime thing for Richard. If he hadn’t gone to Alaska. I couldn’t have lived with that on my conscience. Being separated for a year is tough, but it’s not as bad as having an unhappy husband. The time apart is a small to pay if it means we get a better life at the of it.'
