Steven Curtis Chapman: Cheering for Your Kids and Fighting for Your Marriage
Posted 2 days ago - May 8, 2025
From: MorganIf you’ve ever danced at a wedding or looked for the perfect song to share with your spouse, you probably know Steven Curtis Chapman’s I Will Be Here. It’s a tender promise of presence and love through the seasons of life.
But what does love look like after 40 years of marriage? I recently sat down with Steven to hear his perspective and learn about his latest song, Forever the Love of My Life.
This song is not just about promises made from the starry eyes of new love but it’s about reflecting back on the decades and looking ahead at more unknowable years to come.
She’ll worry and fret about what isn’t yet
Sometimes it can drive a man crazy
But when she laughs it’s a song
That rights everything wrong
For me it’s nothing short of amazing
In our conversation, Steven opens up about his deep love for Mary Beth, the woman who has walked through joy, grief, and growth by his side and he shares about why some have called him his kids’ biggest cheerleader.
