Tina and Teddy Campbell’s marriage problems came to light after one half of the award-winning gospel singing group ‘Mary Mary’ opened up in an interview that she did with Ebony Magazine about her husband’s infidelity. Though Tina has seen much success in the music business and with the reality TV show that she stars in with her sister Erica, she revealed that marriage problems did exist for her and Teddy and spoke on the moment when she tried to stab her husband after she found out that he was cheating on her. And since the interview that Tina did with Ebony, she says that her marriage has been challenged even more now and that she and Teddy are looking for all the support that they can get.
On the website ilovemarymary.com, Tina Campbell wrote a message to her family, fans, and friends, on behalf of herself and her husband, opening up again about the troubles of their marriage and asked for their prayers and support as her and Teddy try to work through their issues.
Tina writes:
Hi fans and friends. It’s Tina. I hope all of you are well and I thank you for all the love and support you’ve shown my sister and I over the years.
Well, Im actually writing you on behalf of my husband Teddy and I. I’m assuming that many of you have seen or heard about our article in Ebony that discussed the challenges of overcoming infidelity in our marriage. Well since the article, the challenges have worsened. My hope turned into hopelessness & despair and I became unwilling to forgive and fight, until God showed me myself.
My husband’s struggle, was with sexual immorality BUT I have struggled with anger, rage, unforgiveness, pride, just to name a few, for over 2 decades. The devil wanted to use strongholds that took hold of our lives in our childhood, to remain and destroy us as adults. So now instead of being mad at each other we’re mad at the devil and we’re ready to fight.
Today we began a 30 day fast (May 24th-June 22nd) for complete deliverance & restoration. If u are able to, please fast and/or pray daily that God would answer our prayers and give us a deeper love & commitment to him and to each other. We believe he still works miracles and he can give us the greatest marriage we could have ever imagined. We can pray alone BUT your prayers will certainly help.
Some Scriptures To Target Your Prayer
2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
James 5:16
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.”
Thanks in advance. Talk to you in 30 days.
Tina & Teddy
At the end of the message, Tina mentioned the hashtag #TeddyandTinaPrayers for those who wanted to show send their prayers and support to her and Teddy via Twitter.
Uh-oh…prayer moves mountains, so hopefully they will overcome this.
Even Jesus gave grounds for divorce when adultery is involved. Any man committing multiple adultery affairs like he confessed to doing already divorced his wife. She needs to move on.
I can’t deal with cheating. I know I would have been out already. Kudos to her for trying but I just couldn’t do it.
I agree. I’m married but cheating is something I just can’t tolerate.
He’s STILL cheating? No ma’am.
Whoa. I wish them the best. #ThatsAllImmaSay
Wow I’m praying for them but this is exactly why it is so important to have a strong foundation in a relationship and to keep it. Relationships are hard work but I will keep them in my prayers.
I understand why she’s still angry. It’s hard to forgive someone for cheating. I hope it works out.
i cant forgive cheating! She best find herself someone to cheat with cause preying wont stop it
I disagree. Prayer will help but her husband has to have a yielded heart towards God and repent and seek godly counseling. As for her cheating with someone else, the devil is a liar. Just because he’s committing adultery doesn’t mean she should give into the trick of the enemy and do the same thing. That is not God’s way of doing things and two wrongs DON’T make a RIGHT.
I completely agree with her; he may have cheated but a women with rage is hard to deal with. She has admitted to her faults and by no means is he excused but allowing strongholds from the past to destroy, nag, and breakdown a bond is a sin as well and she opened my eyes to how we are as women. Bearing the world on our shoulders makes it hard for us to communicate and be approachable. Moreso we should listen more and speak less! So I will pray for her and her family because why breakup when no one is perfect…finding a perfect man is impossible and the next man may cheat also, for those who can not tolerate cheating, marriage is not about breaking but mending!!
Tina. I must say I am sorry about what is happening and yet praying for you.
So, since he committed an adultery. So, I work in the medical field and have a spouse have cheated on each other and the other after cheating the other spouse gave the other AIDS. Please divorce him for your health and focus on the kids.
I am praying for you.
My prayers go out to you we all make mistakes dont let that sway you..The devil stays busy dont let him win
Multiple affairs is what he confessed to which means he already left the marriage and divorced it long ago. She needs to move on and be strong.
