This August marks 81 years since Billy and Ruth Graham were married. They loved God and each other for over 63 years. While they both traveled the world, spending time at home was always important. The mantel behind them bears a German inscription that reads, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” Their home was dedicated to God, and this phrase was a powerful reminder.
"Without Ruth's partnership and encouragement over the years, my own work would have been impossible," Billy Graham once said. "We were called by God as a team."
A family gathering in 2003, four years before Ruth Graham passed away. "You have your children for a few short years," she once wrote. "Train them before the time is gone."
