Former Secretary of Defense William Cohen and his wife, television journalist Janet Langhart Cohen are of different races, political persuasions and religious backgrounds.
Yet they say a 'soulful' connection brought them together.
Married twelve years, the Cohens say they have found a spiritual home in Judaism's rituals, even though they do not call themselves Jewish.
In 2007, the Cohens wrote a book titled 'Love in Black and White: A Memoir of Religion, Race and Romance.' On Valentine's Day, 2007, they wrote about their relationship for On Faith.
