56 year old Gospel singer, Pastor Donnie McClurkin has revealed that he and Nicole C. Mullen are getting married.
He revealed this when he was the musical guest on TBN’s long-running “Praise the Lord” ministry show Thursday night.
Rumors that McClurkin and Mullen were dating started circulating after the two attended this year’s Stellar Awards together but the gospel singers never made an official announcement about their romance until Thursday’s episode of “Praise the Lord.”
He said:
“Well praise God. Honestly, the only thing in my life that is missing is marriage. The only thing that is missing in my life that can cause real family, is marriage. Financially I’m there, spiritually I’m almost there, emotionally I’m getting it together, but the only thing that’s missing out of everything that I’m doing locally, cross country and globally is that aspect that makes family, family — is that wife that would make man whole, that element that brings favor to man.”
The pastor went on to quote Proverbs 18:22. The verse says “he who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord.” And that is what McClurkin says he’s looking forward to in this season of his life.
“I have a lot of great things, but I don’t have a good thing, and there’s favor that can only come through marriage to a man,” he continued.
The New York-based minster talked about spending his nights watching Cartoon Network
until 2 a.m. and confessed that he has come to realize the missing part of his existence is to have a
help mate.
“To have someone that I can love. I’m not saying to love me, ’cause there’s a lot of people that love me. I want someone that I can love, heal and comfort, protect and secure. That’s what I want,” he said.
Twenty-three minutes into the program Crouch asked McClurkin to name his future bride. McClurkin then described how God brought he and Mullen together on an airplane ride in December 2015.
He said they’ve known each other for 15 years, and had time to chat when they were seated next to
each other on a flight to the Ivory Coast during which they spoke for eight hours.
Both singers have been open about their love lives in the past. Mullen was previously married to CCM singer-songwriter David Mullen, before they announced their divorce in 2014.
While McClurkin has never been married, the single father has been open about his struggles with his
feelings of loneliness. from ICE
