'Feminist' Wife Is Childhood Sweetheart, Married in 1989
Jordan Peterson met his wife Tammy when they were very little. They lived on the same street in Fairview, Northern Alberta. He fell in love the moment he saw her. He told his father, Walter Peterson, that one day he would marry her.
When the pair were in their teenage years, the pair drifted apart a little. During one day on that period of time, she was with her friends talking about feminism. Jordan happened to be delivering the newspaper to her house. He heard her talked about how she wouldn’t take the last name of her husband. He heard her say,
"I'm gonna have to marry some wimp because I am a feminist."
Soon after saying that, she saw Jordan; she smirked and teased him, asking him to marry her.
