Sept. 1829 Marries Ellen Tucker

Love has swept into my heart, which follows the tune in harmony wiht Ellen Tucker, my newly made wife. She is a creation of beauty. The virtue of God has been placed on her shoulders as she shines outwardly through the creation she is of God. Just as nature is beautiful in every moment, so is she. As a fire burns with great intensity, our relationship grows warmer. An everlasting candle burns in our hearts for one another. Mountain top after mountain we cannot seem to climb any higher into the clouds. Marriage, a unity of hearts, the way the water and the fish live together in harmony.
