Susannah Thompson, who would later become Susie Spurgeon, was introduced to Charles by her father, who was an admirer of his preaching. Susie, a young woman with a deep faith and a heart full of compassion, was immediately captivated by the humble and passionate preacher. Charles, equally enamored by her beauty and commitment to God, fell head over heels in love with Susie.

Their courtship was not without its fair share of obstacles. Charles was almost a decade older than Susie and faced opposition from some who believed he should marry someone from a higher social class. The couple's love, however, proved to be stronger than any societal expectations or prejudices. They were determined to be together, vowing to support and uplift each other in their individual callings.

Their love was tested early on in their marriage when Charles was diagnosed with severe depression. Susie stood by her husband's side, providing him with emotional support and becoming his greatest source of comfort. Despite the challenges of his mental health, Charles's love for preaching never wavered, and Susie lovingly stood by him, helping to manage his ministry and ensuring he had the support he needed.

Susie, too, faced her share of difficulties. She had multiple miscarriages and endured the heartache of losing several children in infancy. The pain of losing their precious little ones only strengthened Charles and Susie's bond, as they leaned on each other to find solace in their grief. Their unwavering faith in God's plan even in the face of tragedy became a testament to the depth of their love.

Charles often credited Susie for being the backbone of his ministry. Her unwavering support allowed him to focus on his preaching while she managed the details of his ministry and cared for their family. Susie tirelessly assisted in editing his sermons and publications, helping to spread his powerful messages to a broader audience. Her role behind the scenes was pivotal in making Charles the influential figure he was.

Throughout their 36-year marriage, Charles and Susie Spurgeon's love grew stronger with each passing year. Their mutual respect and admiration for each other fueled their dedication to their respective callings. They faced trials, but their love remained steadfast, gracefully weathering the storms of life together.

Charles Spurgeon once said, "I have taken my beloved into the wine cellar and said unto her, 'There you are wine to my heart'". These words beautifully capture the profound love that existed between Charles and Susie. Their love story, often untold, is a testament to the power of love, faith, and partnership.

Today, the legacy of Charles and Susie Spurgeon's love lives on, inspiring countless individuals to nurture and cherish the bonds they share with their loved ones. Their story is a reminder that true love transcends societal expectations and endures in the face of adversity.
