When Ruth arrived at Wheaton College, she planned to become an “old maid missionary” to Tibet, not fall in love with a transfer student named Billy Graham.
In this episode, we follow Ruth and Billy’s unlikely courtship, including their first date, Ruth’s determined attempts to convince Billy to become a missionary, and the ultimatum that finally brought them together.
We also talk about their early years of marriage, their arguments and compromises, and some of Ruth’s favorite pieces of advice. You’ll love this story of two imperfect people learning to love each other, forgive each other, and work together in marriage.
