Publisher's summary

A Grammy Award-winning singer and her husband share what a Godly marriage looks like and encourage listeners with faith-forward and Biblical relationship advice.

Fantasia Taylor—American Idol, Grammy-winning vocalist, and chart-topping singer—and her husband, businessman Kendall Taylor, were both successful and living in their purpose when they met and married three weeks later. Their marriage has had its ups and downs, but the one thing that has sustained them through all of it is the practice of taking off their crowns—the accolades, their egos, the things the world tells you matter—and serving each other within the home. It doesn’t matter who you are in the world—you need to humble yourself and serve your partner in order to put your marriage, your family, and your faith first.

Seven years later, after facing a host of real-world challenges—from marital stress to professional and financial pressures, to their high-risk pregnancy and the premature birth of their daughter—Fantasia and Kendall’s marriage has become a beacon of hope and love as they have opened up about their lives in their weekly Taylor Talks broadcast. Now, in their first book together, Fantasia and Kendall dish about their shared experiences and struggles, opening up about the challenges and triumphs they’ve faced together and how they have come out stronger for them. They also share stories about how they've made their relationship work against all odds and why they try to always treat each other like royalty.

In their trademark no-nonsense, real-talk style, they discuss topics that affect all relationships, including the importance of submitting to one another, handling conflict, clearing the lines of communication, keeping the romance alive, navigating the challenges of blended family, and how to maintain healthy relationships when you haven’t seen them modeled before.

Insightful, wise, and grounded in faith, Fantasia and Kendall’s story offers hope and encouragement and gives straight-up advice about making your relationships last.

Truthful and hit home

Best read ever!!! Everything was spoken with grace and class. Worth every minute spent listening to. Their words was very clear and straightforward. Definitely gods gift shared among others. Points were made on both ends for each person to relate to or help recognize. This read was definitely worth it from the beginning to the end. The way material was presented made me reflect on my own personal experiences and want to strive just like them. Definitely recommend to everyone as a must to read!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your spirit with us and making me see things I haven’t seen!

Loved it!

Thank for sharing your stories and how you dealt with communication and other challenges in your marriage. You have given a lot of great advice!

Life changing

I usually don’t do this…but this is not just a book that you can read once and put it away. I promise you will read this book as if it’s the first time over and over again. As a single woman I thought I wouldn’t be able to relate to much. However it most definitely has taught a lot about relationships, being productively single, and religion. Thank you Kendall & Fantasia for this book❤️

New perspective

This book was open and honest. They were able to convey their story in a way that anyone could relate. I highly recommend this book!

God was at the center of this story

what stood was just how God brought these two individuals together and just see how they relied on him to get through their struggles. I really learned a lot of things. though I am not married yet but I learned a lot about what I need to learn before get into any serious relationship. Such a touching story.
