Twelve years ago I married one of the most famous dancing stars in Hollywood. Today I am married to a Sunday school teacher. I haven\u2019t changed wives, either. I am still married to the glamorous Eleanor Powell. What\u2019s more, the change in my wife\u2019s roles, far from dimming the drama in our lives, has led us both to a richer experience.<\/p>\n

The truth is that since our son, Peter Newton Ford, arrived ten years ago, both Ellie and I have found God in a new way.<\/p>\n

In the beginning, neither Ellie nor I was a stranger to God. I think we had always tried to be \u201cgood\u201d people in His sight. Ellie was raised a staunch Presbyterian, and I taught in the Episcopal Sunday school<\/a> for a while after I graduated from high. Then, although we had not yet met, the same thing happened to us that seems to happen to a lot of people.<\/p>\n

We just got too busy. Ellie was breaking into musical comedy in New York. I was making screen tests in Hollywood and appearing on Broadway. Show business can be pretty high tension whether you\u2019re scrambling up the ladder toward the top or balancing on one foot to stay there. Almost without my noticing the change, Sunday wasn\u2019t church day anymore. It was a day of rest. No performance. No audience. No tension. It was old-clothes day, read-and-sleep day.<\/p>\n

For myself, I honestly believed that skipping church wouldn\u2019t dim my faith in God or make any difference in my relationship to Him. Occasionally, if I felt a personal need, as I did when my father passed away, I still went to church and came away strengthened, refreshed.<\/p>\n

Dad\u2019s passing, when I was 22, left me more deeply disturbed than I would confess. I couldn\u2019t shake off my sorrow and loneliness. Still close to the church habit, I walked around New York one gloomy Sunday and finally entered a church at random.<\/p>\n

The minister read from the 14th chapter of John: \u201cLet not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father\u2019s house are many mansions\u2026\u201d I have heard those words since\u2014in Westminster Abbey, on the deck of the U.S.S. California when I was in the Marine Corps\u2014always with the same feeling that they reached out to answer a personal need.<\/p>\n

That morning in New York was the first time their tremendous promise penetrated my consciousness, and I left the service filled with such peace as I had not known in many weeks.<\/p>\n

Now, would any man wittingly turn his back on such a source of help? You wouldn\u2019t think so. But my immediate need had been met, and Sunday once more became a day of rest.<\/p>\n

Then, after Ellie and I had been married for two years, along came Peter.<\/p>\n

Peter made the usual changes in our lives. The night watch, diapers, never putting down an open safety pin, hiding Father\u2019s shiny cuff links when he got to the toddling stage. But it went deeper. Our own reeducation had begun.<\/p>\n

Mine started almost at once. I had to begin to practice what I preached about table manners, and opening and closing doors for ladies, being alert in matters of honesty, neatness, the use of the English language. Peter\u2019s mother pointed out very firmly that we couldn\u2019t expect young Peter to \u201cdo as we say and not as we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Peter was enrolled in Sunday school in the Presbyterian Church of Beverly Hills. Or I should say Peter and Glenn and Ellie were enrolled. For could I say: \u201cRun along, little man, and learn about God. Dad will sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obviously not. Furthermore our Sunday school encouraged parents to sit in the back of the church while their young were being instructed.<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t exactly study their lessons with them, but I found myself learning other things. I learned that, in neglecting church, I had been missing something, that church could act as a catalyst between God and me, help to keep Him front-and-center in my consciousness, increase my awareness of Him in daily living.<\/p>\n

I found that forming part of a congregation<\/a> meant a closer tie with my fellow man, a giving, a sharing, as well as taking. Gradually I realized that, while I\u2019d had no complaints before, things seemed to work more smoothly; I felt better; and I could only believe this stemmed from an increased vigor in my religious life stimulated by having Peter take us to Sunday school.<\/p>\n

I watched, too, our friends who attended church as families, and saw that church life seemed to act as a magnet, a center that drew them into harmonious unity.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the finest thing I learned was to watch with humility the fulfillment that can come from accepting Divine direction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Ellie decided to marry me and give up her career for family life and motherhood, I\u2019ll admit to moments of wondering if it weren\u2019t a shame that all my wife\u2019s wonderful talents should be reserved only for Peter and me and our immediate circle. Knowing how much real pleasure her dancing had given thousands, I sometimes felt that it was selfish of me to stand by and let her hide her light under a bushel of household duties.<\/p>\n

But Ellie seemed sure that her decision was the right one and that if she were doing the Lord\u2019s will<\/a>, a way would open up which would enable her to blend her professional talents with her family duties. Without her seeking it, without tension or struggle, a new opportunity did unfold which was part and parcel of our family life and through which she has reached a new audience of millions.<\/p>\n

The seed was small and it grew naturally. One morning I dashed into Sunday school just under the wire to find Ellie leading the singing. Obviously she was enjoying it, and so were the kids. Shortly afterward she began serving as a substitute teacher, then took a regular class of her own.<\/p>\n

That was 7 years ago, and she has yet to miss a single Sunday. Never have I seen her inspire a Broadway audience the way she inspires those youngsters. They don\u2019t miss any Sundays either. And soon, on week days, the neighborhood kids were flocking around demanding Bible stories. She was, in theatrical terms, a \u201cnatural.\u201d Nor was I the only one to notice it.<\/p>\n

Over a year ago she was asked to teach her Sunday school class on television. We had both turned down TV offers before. Again Ellie said \u201cno,\u201d this time for a different reason. She felt her former professional status might make suspect her appearance before the public in this new role. It took our own minister, Dr. Sam Allison, and the Reverend Clifton E. Moore of the presbytery quite a while to persuade her.<\/p>\n

Once persuaded, she went into action. She added several children to her group to include all denominations. We hired a bus, and right after her regular class in church, off we went to the television station.<\/p>\n

Technically, now I produce my wife\u2019s show, Faith of Our Children<\/em>, for Station KRCA, Channel 4, in Los Angeles,<\/span> something I once dreamed of doing. But in those days of \u201crestful Sundays\u201d I never dreamed it would be such a show, nor that I could be so proud of the production. If Ellie, in the years of her retirement, became simply Glenn Ford\u2019s wife, well, every Sunday I now become Teacher\u2019s husband. Nominally I\u2019m supposed to \u201cobtain suitable guests, write and produce,\u201d but actually I load the bus, brush hair and straighten ties, or provide an escort to and from the drinking fountain.<\/p>\n

Whenever I try to summarize exactly how this all happened to us, I find myself turning to my star performer. At the close of each TV performance, Ellie shares with every listening parent the secret for happier living that our own son Peter taught us, when he took us to Sunday school with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cStay with your children more,\u201d she suggests. \u201cPlay with your children more. Above all, pray with your children<\/a> more.\u201d<\/p>\n
