True Love

Robertson McQuilkin was the president of Columbia Bible College and Seminary from 1968 until 1990. He was a world renowned New Testament Theologian and speaker. After forty years of marriage, Robertson’s wife Muriel became ill and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. By 1990, Muriel was no longer able to speak or to feed and clothe herself. In 1990 Robertson stood before the students and faculty of Columbia Bible College and resigned as president so that he could devote himself full-time to caring for his wife. Muriel lived another 13 years after Robertson’s retirement.

I am adding the following video that contains an audio portion of Robertson’s resignation address along with some pictures of the couple. Please, watch this video and see what true love and commitment look like in marriage. You may want to turn the music off on this blog before playing the video.
