Ruth Bell Graham on Marriage

Ruth Bell Graham says:

"When we dated, we had our ups and downs. I had always thought I should go to Tibet as a missionary, and one day Bill said to me, 'Ruth, do you think God led us together?'
I had to admit that I was convinced he had. Then Bill said, 'Well, then, I'll do the leading, and you do the following.' I've been doing the following ever since."
