Becca Lemmon’s Reviews > Yours, till Heaven: The Untold Love Story of Charles and Susie Spurgeon > Status Update

“My dear, do you think you will know me when you and I get to heaven?
“Shall I know you? Why, I have always known you while here, do you think I shall be a greater fool when I get to heaven?

“If there is only one good wife in England, I am the man who put the ring on her finger, and long may she wear it. God bless the dear soul if she can put up with me; she shall never be put down by me.”

“When hearts agree, there joy will be” because marriage should be “merry-age.”

“My Precious Love, your dearly-prized note came safely to hand, and verily it did excel all I have ever read, even from your own loving pen.”

“If you can dip your pens into your hearts, appealing earnestness to the Lord, you will write well; and if you can gather on your knees at the gate of heaven, you will not fail to speak well.”

“Shall I read to you tonight dear?” “Yes that will be very refreshing wifey; I shall like that”

I think that I expected I would get to read the correspondence of Charles and Susie, this is more biographical. It’s still a sweet book, just not what I thought this far in.

Indeed, theirs was a love “till Heaven, and then”

To write of their romance is, as Susie described “A sacred and delicate task”- sacred because marriage is first of all about Christ and His bride, th church. And delicate because it is the closest union into which two people can enter.
