They got married in 2004 after they had dated for 4 years. He has this to say about his wife, \u201cShe\u2019s just a simple person. She is very simple. She is God-sent. It is very rare for a man to find a woman that is very understanding, determined and shares your vision, then you survive and grow together. So that\u2019s the kind of woman God has blessed me with. Tell me why I won\u2019t marry that kind of person? She\u2019s not materialistic at all. Of course she\u2019s pretty and God-fearing.
