Hi clpanek1979, Are you still looking? If so, can you say a little more? There's more than one couple that kinda fits the description - and none that exactly fits.
Did they settle in Dawson, Lac Qui Parle, Minnesota immediately after immigrating? Did they marry in US or Denmark? When did they immigrate? What were their childrens' names and year of birth?
I did definitely find Anna Marie's death certificate. You can order it inexpensively from Minnesota Historical Society; it should tell her parents' names.

CHRISTENSEN, ANNA MARIE

===========================================
Now, in trying to figure out which couple is "yours," if found this:
There's a Nels A. Christensen b 1904 who died in Lac Qui Parle County:

I looked for this Nels in the census, and his age matches the son Nels in 1910 census in Albert Lea, Freeborn, Minnesota.
1910 US CENSUS
Albert Lea, Freeborn County, Minnesota
Nels P Christensen
Marie A Christensen
Clara Christensen
James C Christensen
Esther Christensen
Nels A Christensen age 5 - born about 1905
Mabel A Christensen
Einer Christensen
There's a Viggo Christensen born August 1910 in Freeborn County to a mother with a maiden name of Christensen.
More records can be found, but I'll wait to see if this is "your" family.
