Despite separating, the couple reconciled again in 1999. Part of a good love story is the decision to stick with your spouse, for better or worse and that’s what the Jacksons did. They focused on therapy, a strong Christian foundation for their relationship and they bounced back from the painful situation that hurt their family.
Denise even wrote a book about her personal life to shed light on happened so that she could help other couples struggling with the same situation: It’s All About Him: Finding the Love of My Life was released in 2007 and topped the New York Times bestseller list. Jackson even released a song for the book, “It’s All About Him.”
“The greatest blessings in my life have come out of my worst shattering,” Denise told People in a separate interview discussing her book.
“His betrayal and our separation were what led to this new, passionate love relationship with God and also led to us being able to have the kind of marriage that we both always wanted but just didn’t know how to have,” Denise Jackson told People. “Couples and especially women can relate to my story – my fears, my insecurities, my self-esteem issues, marital issues that Alan and I had as a result of marrying so young.”
The two are now together all the time, taking advantage of the time they have with each other when the country superstar isn’t on the road. Even after her cancer diagnosis in 2010, the couple fought through it, and she’s now cancer free.
