The couple did not gatekeep their secret to a long-lasting marriage and revealed that the key lies in putting in the effort to stay in love and nurture a strong connection.

“We try to get out and go to dinner or hang out and go to the movies or something. We build a fire and have some wine and a nice evening,” Alan revealed. They also make it a point to go to bed together unless one is away. “It’s just the little things,” he added, that help their marriage stay strong.
While their marriage is beautiful today, it did not come without hardship. As Denise recalled, they also experienced ups and downs, including Alan’s infidelities, which his wife forgave.

Denise revealed that she had no choice but to forgive her husband in order to get her marriage back. The couple had a brief separation in 1997, but when they reconciled, their relationship changed for the better, with God at its center.
Recently, Alan walked his daughter down the aisle to marry a man, four years after her spouse passed away. His daughter, Mattie Denise Jackson, shared her experience as a young widow falling in love again.
