Are you working on any new projects that you’d like to share?
AD: I am working on a woman’s shoe line that I’m looking to launch in the fall of 2013. I’m very excited about this because it’s been a long time coming. As I continue to progress I will definitely share more with everyone. It’s just about mid-way through so very exciting!
LD: There’s a lot of things I can’t say because of confidentiality. But what I can speak of because at this point it’s public information is this Tamar project. If you are not ready, get ready because it’s coming. We’re very excited because it’s the perfect combination between personality and talent. So it’s going to be a beautiful thing. The best way to keep up with us is to follow us on Twitter. Look out for the single which will be coming out in weeks and the album is scheduled for the first quarter, top of the year.
What is one piece of marriage advice that you can share with our readers when it comes to the reality of marriage?
LD: Mine is simple. Although it may sound like a cliché it is the fact of the matter: keep God first. When I say God I mean Jesus Christ. That’s who we believe in and that’s who we cast our cares upon. Here’s what we know: Jesus is love. Love is the very nucleus of marriages as they should be. So if you’re thriving to love, God will help you in everything that you need to do. The bible says to love your wife as Christ loved the church. God’s grace and mercy is restored daily. So if we can love our wives as Christ loved the church, staying and being in love should be the least of your worries.
AD: To add on, my advice is for the ladies (although the men could learn from this as well). Pick and choose your battles. Everything is not worth a discussion or an argument. Just let some things go. You know the things that are true to your heart that you may lose sleep over. But everything does not need to become an issue. God brought our union together. So our trust and our faith should rest on knowing that He is going to work out the kinks as well.
Tamar & Vince airs on Thursdays at 9pm EST on WE TV. If you missed last week’s episode which was the hot topic for this interview, you can check out the full episode here: Taymar & Vince – Model Wife – Full Episode.
BMWK, What do you think about the Tamar & Vince show? If you haven’t seen it, will you be tuning in to watch this Thursday?
I’m not a fan of reality shows as a whole, mainly because many of them are scripted and phony. But it sounds like LaShawn & April are the real deal and have a firm grasp on what love & marriage is all about. That’s refreshing because we (and I am definitely a part of this group) tend to stereotype people who are famous as being ‘Hollywood’–y’all know what I mean! Glad to know they are down to earth, keeping God first and committed to one another. All the best to them! 🙂
I can completely understand that Drea! It truly was a refreshing interview and also a reminder that celebrity marriages are still just that — a marriage. And it takes the same type of work, love, commitment that any other marriage needs. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! 🙂
I saw the episode and i am thankful for their transparency. It gave me a better understanding of what marriage is about and how you have to continue to work at it so that your marriage can grow and flourish.
I agree with you, Niambi! Their transparency really touched a lot of people, including myself. Yes, it’s definitely something you have to work on continuously. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Awesome interview! It’s wonderful to see real couples sharing their experiences and help other couples navigate the sometimes difficult road of marriage. Bravo!
Thank you T.Espi! I agree!! It’s always nice to see other couples like them because it makes me want to have an even better relationship with my own husband!
I had to comment before reading any further. The first question and answer has definitely been my husband and I. It’s refreshing to know that we’re not alone. It’s funny how everything always seems to come down to communication.
Great interview! Well done!!!
Yes Rani! Thank you! Communication is definitely key and something that needs to be worked on continuously (speaking for myself as well).
Great interview! The Daniels have definitely become one of BMWK’s favorite TV couples and we appreciate them showing marriage in a loving and realistic light. We appreciate yall! Great job Christine!
Thanks so much Lamar! Yes, they really are a great couple and I loved everything they shared with us!
I had no clue who these two people were or their reality show but Great Article!!! A great Author and interviewer is one who walks the walk and talks the talk and understands the language. The author captures the
essence and verity of the material for their audience and viewers. Whether I knew them before now does not even matter, because after reading this article I now feel like I know Lashawn and April. This has you Christine written all over it. So proud of the Mommy:-)
Wow! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate such kind words, and so glad you enjoyed the interview 🙂
This article was beautiful!!! I love them as a couple, and as a fellow christian married couple; they represented well. I would really love if the Daniels were offered their own reality show. Don’t get me wrong, I love Tamar and Vince, but; LaShawn and April are more my speed. Love you guys and God Bless!!!
As a woman who is engaged to be married after being together for 6 years, I learned A LOT from this article! April helped to cement the ‘choose your battles wisely’ in me. We as women tend to knit pick and bug our men. And though it may seem like a genuine concern to us, it may just bug the heck out of him that we are arguing over EVERYTHING! Proverbs 25:4 says- It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house. That’s how guys feel when we do that. Like NOT coming home! Lol! And I want my baby home so I got that one REAL quick April. Thanks guys! Good advice 🙂
I don’t know where or who this e-mail may go to, but I’m asking no! I’m begging someone to please get this message to Mr. Daniels? I really do believe that he and Vince should really look this way for some new talent, and please give us a chance at sing for someone major like them which we have been searching for, for years just for someone major as himself to just please give us a chance. please,please please!!!!!1Someone please get this message to Vince and (or) Lashawn please. either contact Allen Walker@(229-429-3558)or Detrial Scott@(229-516-5736)Tell them for me I promise that want regret the move.
I really like the Daniels they make me laugh April and Lashawn talked about putting God first so many celebrity do not like talking about praising God like is not important anymore thank you for putting God first
