Speaking about how prayer is the reason her marriage is working and revealing the prayer she made before getting married, Kiekie said:

KIEKIE: The way it [marriage] is working for me is beautiful and it’s a God factor and a major God factor because before I got married, it was something that I dedicated days to. I dedicated like a certain amount of days to say I am going to pray about this and I need a sign. I told God I am not a pastor, I am not a prophet, give me a sign that I would understand. There is actually nothing you can’t pray about and God will actually listen to you.

I said one prayer before I married. The prayer is that may we not meet someone that pretends. The way that you are such a fantastic host is the way people that pretend are fantastic at it. So if you’re with someone that is pretentious, you will not know until they’re now ready to unveil themselves. Don’t date someone that do pretend, because talking about getting married, that is one part that scared me most. In fact, I prayed about it the most that God, I have seen this man and I have desired this man. Don’t let him to change. Should in case of he’s having any behavioral pattern that I’m not knowing of now, let it lock away, let me not see it again, make sure it doesn’t come out. At the end of the day, [prayer] is just a thing of saying I want this, and this is what I want.

Kiekie has now been married for three years and blessed with a daughter.
