In the book that recently came out, The Mountain Family (for all those that don’t know, it’s a book about a woman and her family that grew up in the Appalachian Mountains as christians and became geirim later on in life), she writes that her husband asked her to marry her on the first date. She said yes because she knew he was the right one. They weren’t Jewish yet. The Hashgacha Pratis of this was that after having many kids together, she gave birth to a down syndrome child who died after a month and they got divorced about a year later because of that. One event led to another and she became Jewish and got remarried years after that.
