We are grateful to have had the opportunity to be blessed by our different married guests for this episode which we pray for those who listen will be blessed as well.
The first married couple featured in this episode is Brother Walter & Sister Tawana Sabbath, Ph.D. “We met while Walter was a student at Antioch University Philadelphia. He was a student of my good friend who invited me to help her class to brainstorm for a major project. What I didn't know was that Walter who was coming out of a broken marriage had prayed for a woman in his life that didn't have to love him but could grow to love him. When he saw me, he knew that I was the answer to his prayer. He actually told three female classmates that I would be his next wife. At our wedding three years later those same women told me how ridiculous they told Walter was. He says, ‘I gave God a list of 12 things I wanted in a wife. After we were married I took stock and found that He had given a baker's dozen or 13.’" Brother Walter & Sister Tawana Sabbath, Ph.D. have not only been partners in marriage for thirty-five years but they continue to serve/work together as the co-owners of their business the Walter E. Sabbath, Jr. Funeral Service, www.sabbathcare.com, that has been in business for twenty-eight years.

I had never planned on marrying again, and not marrying my first husband again!! But God!! We pray every day to maintain our marriage, it is a work in progress. Do pray for us.
