Billy and Ruth Graham were brought together by their love for God. After meeting at Wheaton College in 1940, both committed their lives to serving the Lord—a commitment that continued into their marriage. As Billy traveled across continents sharing the Gospel, he often drew strength from knowing Ruth was at home faithfully caring for their children and shaping a Godly home. While Billy regularly wrote detailed letters during long periods of travel, Ruth often expressed her love in poetry. Over the years, she wrote dozens of poems that captured her devotion, gratitude, and reflections on life with Billy. Like any marriage, theirs experienced seasons of closeness and distance, joy and sorrow. In a note to her beloved husband in 1978, Ruth wrote: A dream fulfilled … To walk with you through all these years, through every kind of weather, and walk into the setting sun still loving and … together.
