By Christine Thomasos, Christian Post Reporter Wednesday, February 26, 2014

Tina Campbell, one half of the Grammy Award-winning gospel music duo Mary Mary, may be second-guessing her decision to take part in a third season of her "Mary Mary" reality television show, which will broadcast serious issues within her marriage.

Campbell, 39, is married to gospel drummer Teddy Campbell, 39, who has also worked as the percussionist for "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno. The singer first opened up about her husband's previous infidelities in the June issue of Ebony magazine and let fans, friends and family know how she was working to resolve the issue on ilovemarymary.com.

"If I had known what this season was going to consist of before I started, I would have opted out ... Life got real," she said on The Wendy Williams Show recently.

Still she spoke about her decision to reveal her personal heartaches in such a public forum.

"I revealed it. I don't like being hostage to my own secrets and all that," Tina said on the talk show. "I've watched people live with shame and embarrassment. I'm going to do shame for a little while, embarrassment for a little while, then I'mma get over it 'cause life goes on."

After calling for fans to help the pair fast and pray last spring, Tina created a YouTube video with her sister and fellow Mary Mary group member Erica Campbell to speak about her well being.

"Guess what? For all of y'all that's wondering, I'm good," she said addressing her fans in the YouTube video alongside her sister Erica last year.

She went on to maintain that God is blessing her and thanked her fans for their continual support.

"God is blessing and my life is changing for the better," she said. "So thank you all of you who have been praying for me. I appreciate you."

In a tweet last year, Tina spoke about some music that also helped her overcome the issues within her marriage.

"THANX to every1 who prayed 4 me & my family this yr," she tweeted last year. "I am your example that the prayers of the righteous accomplish much."
