They married in 1944. After Martins graduation from Seminary they moved to Elizabethton Tennessee where they started a mission church and taught Bible School to the families in Oak Ridge Tennessee where the United States was involved in a top secret project to make the first Atomic Bomb. Throughout their ministries they were Team Mueller sharing their missionary duties. The couple had three children Joel Mueller, Joyce Mueller Olman, and Dr. Wade Mueller. Their next moves were to Elizabethton Tennessee, Valparaiso University, and eventually Trinity Lutheran Church in Toledo. They moved to Maumee Ohio in 1950.
