Single for forty-eight years

Patience Laws & Ray Gifford
She has been single for forty-eight years. She must not want to be married.
My favorite love stories are true ones. In fact, I've probably read or heard the stories of nearly 150 Christian couples, each one as unique as a fingerprint. Some couples called it "courtship," some called it "dating," and some met and married long before the terms acquired their present meanings. God's kindness is evident in them all.
