The speaker talks about how they met their spouse and the process of getting married. They initially considered getting married as a solution to their individual problems. They discussed it with their spouse's parents, who had some reservations. They all prayed together and received affirmative answers. However, the speaker was initially unsure and didn't have an answer right away. Eventually, they got engaged and set a date for two years later. Over time, the date was moved up several times until it was only six months away. The speaker insisted on keeping the final date and they eventually got married. They mention that the feeling between them and their spouse was different from their previous marriage. They have been married for over 51 years. the west, to the east of the west, you go up the hill, then you can get up there and it's flat and you can overlook this town and everything. And we talked, she told me all the crap that was going on in her life with that Mexican guy and she wasn't very happy and he was pushing her toward getting married and after she cried and told me her woes, I said, well, the thought occurs to me that we might be the mutual solution to our respective problems and we ought to consider getting married. And that's the first time I ever kissed her was that night. And then we cranked up the car and drove back down to Roswell and about 10, 10.30 we got to your folks' place and we went in and started visiting with them and your mom said, I got Super Saturday tomorrow so I got to get to bed. I said, well, okay, we need to talk to you for just a minute and we said that we were considering getting married and wanted them to fast and pray with us. And when I said we were thinking about getting married, your mom blew, man, she was, what's the matter, what's this, have you been immoral together, what's going on, what's going on, I don't trust you people. And I says, we just want you to fast and pray with us and see if it's the right thing. And I kind of, I kind of was confident that the answer would come back no, so I wasn't very much worried because I'd known her for 10 years and I hadn't made any progress at all. So we had a prayer together and then we all went to our bedrooms and had private prayer and asked Heavenly Father and Donna got an affirmative answer right that evening before she went to sleep and Donna and Melda did too and I was still scared. What have I done? Well, I, I just, I needed an answer, but I didn't want to feel like I was going along with the crowd. And so I went to bed, I didn't have an answer and I got up the next morning and I still didn't have an answer. Long into the morning, I was confident and we were, as far as we were concerned, we were engaged and she saw the Mexican guy later in the day and told him it was over, that she was engaged to me. He thought she was already engaged to him. So. What was his name? I don't even remember. Rene. That's Rene. Oh, yes. That's right, Rene. Anyway, we got engaged and she got crawfish blood and wanted to back out. I said, okay, you got it and that scared her. So she said, well, let's, let's, I think I said, let's be engaged for two years and give us time to get reacquainted and get to know each other and get to, you know, get comfortable. And so we set a date for two years hence. And. We started going along and then she'd call me and say, well, let's move the date up a little bit. And so we'd move it up for four months and we moved it up another three or four months. And when it got to where we were only six months. To, to get preparation. Yeah. I said, we're not moving it anymore. I, I'm going to have some time and so are you. And so we started. Preparing, you know, getting our arrangements made and we started. I would go down every, I don't know, two or three or four months. I went down at Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year's and. She got crawfish blood and didn't write to me and didn't talk to me. And I said, it's up to you. I'm, I'm here. I'm committed. Yes or no. And I don't care which, if you want to get married, that's okay. If you don't want to get married, that's okay. And so we, we fixed that six months away date and, and I wouldn't move it again. And we waited the six months and spent a little time together. Donna and your folks came up and stayed at my house in Monticello. And just worked out, we ran out of time. And so we got married in the Logan Temple. Same temple I got married in the first time by the same temple officiated. And it was. And he says, this one will work. Thank goodness. But the feeling. The feeling was very different between us from what it was between Judy and me. It was very different than with Donna. And we got married and, and now it's 51 and a half years later. And. Oh, wow. That's special. Yeah. That's awesome. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, that's. I was, I was, I think kind of hard-nosed, you know, I wouldn't, I wouldn't give in. I said, we're taking time. We're not jumping in. And. We just jumped along and got married and had kids and went in the army and. 50 years worth.
