C.S. Lewis, one of the most confirmed bachelors in England, married Joy Davidman Gresham in a civil ceremony in 1956, purely as an act of charity -- he had no passion or romantic feelings for her at all. Only after she was diagnosed with incurable bone cancer did he realize the depth of his feelings for her, and they arranged for a Anglican marriage ceremony -- not easy to do, since Joy was divorced. When she died in 1960, Lewis was devastated.
The television play Shadowlands, later a film, deals with their relationship and is somewhat faithful to the facts.
Lewis had met Mrs Gresham in 1952 and immediately enjoyed her intellectual company. Some have speculated that his 1955 autobiography Surprised by Joy was a bit of a pun, but C.S. gave no indication that this was the case.
C.S. Lewis married Joy Davidman in 1956. Joy was an American writer who was known for her work in poetry and fiction. Their marriage was documented in the biographical film "Shadowlands."
