Tina Campbell Explains How She Got to a Happier Place in Marriage, Business and Life
Tina Campbell, one half of the gospel music singing duo Mary Mary, may have suffered one of the worst years in her life in 2013 and now she is revealing why she is finally in a happier place in her life, marriage and business.
Tina, 40, is married to gospel drummer Teddy Campbell, also, who has also worked as the percussionist for "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno. On her WE tv reality television series "Mary Mary," Tina let fans know that she was working on rebuilding her relationship after finding out about her husband's infidelities.
Aside from her marital issues, Tina and her sister Erica had to deal with the death of their father along with parting ways with their Mary Mary group manager. While Mary Mary has not shied away from addressing their issues in interviews and on the small screen, Tina recently took to Twitter to let fans know how she overcame them on the path to forgiveness.

Tina let her Twitter followers know how she gained strength in prayer.
"Strength came from the Lord's Prayer. I prayed nightly," she tweeted. "When I realized I didn't live it I was ashamed before God. So I made a decision to live what I had been singing about for decades."
The singer insisted that the process worked and transformed her into a better place.
"I'm happier now in my life, marriage, (and) business than ever. Remaining in anger means you're practicing that daily," she wrote. "No way man. Won't be in bondage to that."
Still, Tina insisted that she did not forgive her husband for his benefit.
"The forgiveness wasn't for Teddy. It was for me," Tina wrote. "I've never been so free in my life."
Erica Campbell previously told The Christian Post that her sister is planning to encourage women through another avenue, by publishing a book.
"Tina's book is coming. It is untitled but it chronicles the prayers she wrote and how she found herself, found the new her in the Bible," Erica exclusively revealed to The Christian Post. "You grow up in church but you look at it through different eyes when you go through. And she has written a book that will be amazing I'm sure it will encourage women."
