HGTV alums Egypt Sherrod and her husband, Mike Jackson, know firsthand what it means to forgive and move forward.
In an Instagram video shared by Jackson on Thursday, March 19, the “Married to Real Estate” stars could be seen enjoying a romantic getaway, where they spent time on the beach as they jet-skied and cuddled up in front of the rocks and thrashing waves.
Jackson set the post to the tune of “Let It Grow” by Eric Clapton, a song that perfectly tied into the theme of forgiveness he emphasized in the caption of his video, where he explained how he and Sherrod have managed to keep a harmonious relationship after 16 years of marriage.
Mike Jackson Opens Up About Forgiveness in His Marriage
“Love, and marriage are not meant to stay still; they are living, breathing journeys that stretch, and shape two people over time,” he wrote. “As seasons change, so do the ways we give, take action, receive, and understand love. What begins as passion evolves into patience, grace, and intentional commitment.”
Jackson elaborated on how his and Sherrod’s devotion to their faith has forged their connection with each other, making it even stronger.
“Keeping God at the center and inviting Him into your marriage through prayer creates a foundation that steadies you when emotions waver and life becomes challenging,” Jackson said. “Growth in marriage means learning each other over and over, again and again, choosing forgiveness over pride, and evolving not just as individuals, but as a unified team guided by faith.”
“It is in the intentional, quiet adjustments, transparency, the honest conversations, and the moments spent seeking God together that love matures into something enduring, rooted not just in feeling, but in purpose, strengthened by Gods presence,” he added.
