Today in American history…Gerald and Betty Ford were married on October 14, 1948 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

“When I say we’ve had an ideal marriage, I’m not just talking about physical attraction, which I can imagine can wear pretty thin if it’s all a couple has built on. We’ve had that and a whole lot more.” – Betty Ford

“There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.” – Gerald Ford
