Nancy Lou and Margie Sue grew to be lovely young women. Nancy Lou
inherited her mother's love of the piano and Margie Sue wanted to attend
seminary, like dad. Nancy's young man loved her piano playing and they
sang so beautifully together. A team, just like her mom and dad, they
would go far in their music ministry. They were only 19 years old but
they felt like they had been in love forever.
Margie Sue met her young man in school.
Both of them so loved the Lord and wanted to serve in a foreign mission
field. There was a definite calling on both the girl's lives and God
brought the right man into their lives at just the right time. When
they announced to mom and dad that they wanted to get married, emotions ran
high. They wanted to keep their girls at home with them forever but
they remembered how it was with them at that age. How deeply they
loved each other at a tender young age, and God had blessed them through the
years with a wonderful marriage, two beautiful daughters and a ministry that
reached thousands of souls for Christ each year. Now He was about to
add two sons-in-law to the blessings they already had. They knew these young
men would fit right in.
A double wedding was announced. The grand
mothers were in all their glory. The girls knew they had done much of
the planning for their parents wedding and they wanted to include them.
It was another beautiful day in May, and just
before the ceremony was to begin, Mary Ann spent a few minutes with the
girls, giving them one last bit of advice. "Girls, just as my mom
prayed for me from the day of my birth that He would place the right man in
my life at just the right time, I've prayed for you both, that God would
direct your paths and bring the men into your lives that is His perfect mate
for you. Just as surely as He answered my mom's prayers, I believe He
has answered mine. Now I'm going to give you both the secret to a
happy marriage. It's really very simple and so easy to do. Just
always remember to keep God first in your lives, and never let the romance
die in your marriage."
At the same time Jason was talking to the guys.
"Son's, I've come to know you both, and I'm very happy that you
are going to be part of the family. Mary Ann and I have practiced
something over the years that has proved to be the secret of a good
marriage. If you will allow me, I'd like to share it with you now, a
wise person once said that when romance begins to die, so does the marriage.
So I give you this advice, Always keep God first and never let the
romance die."
