Steve was an experienced hunting guide in Alaska. He had led many eager, and often unskilled, hunters to kill a bear. As Steve described his job, I shivered. Not a job I want.

On one of his last hunt tours, he had an encounter that affirmed my wariness. 

“I had the same prayer,” Beverly shared, “And that was how we met.”

It was years more before they would become reacquainted and start a relationship, but this story struck me deep.

Every couple has a spark to start their relationship. Dave and Joan were no different. But while interviewing them, I found the beginning of their relationship to stand out among the rest.
