A Match Struck in Akron

What makes a marriage last? Obvious things like honesty, trust, and openness are places to start, but each union of two souls appears to have a DNA uniquely it's own. A longing glance or body language reflects attraction but not much else. How do mere mortals keep the courtship going in a long-term relationship? Two teenagers fell for each other in December 1948 and started a tumultuous relationship spanning over fifty years, a remarkable accomplishment in any generation. They overcame language, culture, and faith-based barriers to semi-enjoy marital bliss. Nobody said marriage would be easy, and this book is a tribute to their love, humor, struggles, and honesty. Come step inside a world rarely seen by many in our contemporary culture. May it encourage and bless your relationships.
