From the Barnabas blog: Fast forward in time to Deleon, Texas where he knelt down in a clapboard house by a threadbare, worn couch and asked, “Bessie, will you marry me? I can only promise you a life of wearing worn-out shoes, faded out dresses, without a car for several years, and you won’t have much. I can only promise you a life of doing the will of God but if you will have me, I will love you with all of my heart.” He said that with tears dripping off of her face, she said yes. That was well over sixty years ago

He was reported to say recently that he was her caregiver ,so apparently she was very sick also . unbelievable, but ive heard of it happening before.
