Over the years, Kristin tells Us the thing she has “grown to love about Montell more than anything is that he has this deep compassion and he always looks for the best in everyone, including me, and has this way of always thinking the best case scenario and almost speaking it into existence.”
Montell, meanwhile, praises his wife for being “passionate and faithful to her assignments,” gushing, “She’s faithful to being a daughter to God, her ministry, her husband, to being a mom, faithful to friendships. To put it in one word, her faithfulness.”
Three decades into their romance, the pair, who share four kids, are giving out their most helpful relationship dos and don’ts via their new platform, This Is How We Date Night, the name of which is a play on Jordan’s hit 1995 track “This Is How We Do It.”
Sharing his advice for newlyweds, Montell tells Us: “Be extremely intentional about dating each other and creating a habit of intimate behaviors with each other. I think early on in marriage, TV in Hollywood gives us this glimpse of what romance in a relationship is, and it’s not like that. Anything that you start to do routinely becomes a habit, and we don’t make it a habit of providing intimacy the way marriages should.”

He continued: “[Newlyweds] should implement those things early on, date nights, sex, everything will serve them better later in life when they realize this is what matters. Go into your marriage not thinking about what you get out of the marriage or what you put in. Go in with the mindset of ‘I’m going to outserve my spouse.’ Two people who are trying to outserve each other is a recipe for success.”
As for how they continue to keep things lively themselves, Kristin tells Us she and her husband always enjoy having “movie marathons.” Montell went on to add: “We love to travel together, trying new food places, knocking world destination places off our list etc.”
