What was said
"I got down on my knees and said, okay, marry me, you know. And I gave myself a caveat. I said, you can always get a divorce, man. So that was my caveat."
Bridges shared he overcame his fear of commitment by literally praying on his knees and giving himself permission to divorce if needed. He described severe anxiety during his honeymoon, seeing only 'rotting mangoes' while in paradise. He credits his wife Sue for enduring years of his resistance before he fully committed to intimacy.
