My name is Marie Marler, but everyone who knows me calls me "Lady Bear" and last December I lost the love of my life, J. Bear Marler. We raised 12 kids together, were baptized together, ordained together and we traveled across the U.S. preaching to hookers, bikers, drug addicts, and inmates at prisons and county jails. 

I have written a book about our amazing life together called Dancing With Bear: A Love Story. Not only did we have an amazing life, we had an amazing love and a romance that continued through the years of our life together. I praise God for bringing our lives together so that we could not only help one another but serve our Lord & Savior together as ministers of the Gospel.
