A SRW Interview. How Kai Met Her Husband Gary Grosse

SRW: Hi Kai, thank you so much for having this interview with me. I have never forgotten how you and your husband Gary were there for me when I was going through a difficult time in my life back in 2005.
I know that your prayers availed much.

I knew Gary before you both got married; as he was my choir director in Windsor, Ontario for a few years, and I knew it would take a very special woman to catch his eye.

So tell me Kai (pronounced Ki-E) how did you meet my choir leader, Gary Grosse?

Kai: I saw Gary for the first time at a church in Grand Rapids, MI but actually met him at a church in Windsor, ON


SRW: Was it love at first sight?

Kai: No, but I was impressed to see someone not of African-American background (or so I thought) eat soul food.

SRW: Who first spoke to whom?

Kai: He spoke to me first.  He told a mutual friend that he wanted to meet me & that friend introduced us.

SRW: When/How did you know that he was the One?

Kai: I knew he was the one after our very first phone conversation.  I knew because 1) he fit all of the character traits I asked the Lord for in a husband and 2) I just had a "knowing" that he was the one. 


SRW: Was there ever a time when you felt like ending your courtship?
What kept you going?

Kai: Yeah, I wanted to end it, but he stalked me :-)  Seriously, he made me talk about what I was unhappy or upset about and wouldn't let me take the easy way out of "escape" as he would put it.


SRW: What shampoo do you use to wash your hair? What does he use?

Kai: I use Biolage Hydrating Shampoo & Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque conditioner. Because I switch shampoo's every 5-6 months, he uses whatever remains of the previous shampoo.  This time it's Pantene Pro-V Moisture Renewal.


SRW: What was the last movie you went out to see together?

Kai: Resident Evil 4 in 2010.


SRW: Any Children?

Kai: Yes, 2 boys ages 2 & 3...16 months apart.  Thus, we go out for dinner but too tired for the movie :-0


SRW: Was marriage all that it was cracked up to be ?

Kai: Yes because I'm with God's man for me!


SRW: Name one thing you did in the courting stage to help prepare you for marriage?

Kai: Became less focus on what I wanted and focused more on what was best for us as a couple.


SRW: Any advice to singles?

Kai: Be sure it's the person God has for you.  Marriage is hard enough even with the right one.
