"Baye: 'Get cute, I wanna take my girl out‼️' Me: (to myself) 'Oh that's code for be Grown, Saved & Sexy❤️😉‼️'#marriage #keepmarriagefun #aboutlastnight."

In an Instagram post she made in June 2017, she said she loves being Kirk's wife but is also very intentional about staying his girlfriend. Accompanying the post was a picture of Kirk checking his wife out from behind while she laughed out loud.

Collins said she knew her husband would not mind her wearing flat sandals, but she chose to wear wedges because he loves them. She added that she pays attention to what makes him smile. She also wrote:

"I share this not because I've always done it perfect but I grew to learn the balance. Although sometimes he gets my bonnet lol, he should also get his Boo!"

While prayers and striving to be Kirk's girlfriend have helped foster a loving relationship between the couple, Collins has previously said counseling saved their marriage.

Kirk is never shy about showing love to his wife and showed his romantic side when he surprised her with 23 dozen roses to celebrate their 23rd wedding anniversary.

In March, Kirk was in the news for the wrong reasons after his oldest son, Kerrion, who has a topsy-turvy relationship, released an audiotape.

The audiotape was a recording of a call between Kirk and Kerrion in which the gospel singer was heard threatening his son with profane language.

Kirk spoke for the first time about the recording when he appeared on an episode of "Tamron Hall." He said there had been tensions between his family and Kerrion.

He also revealed he has always tried to reach out to Kerrion and started sending him to therapy as a teenager. Still, Kerrion has disrespected him more aggressively since becoming a man. Kirk said he would keep trying to help his son and picking up his calls despite the challenges.

Kirk also apologized for his language, saying he is human and makes mistakes. However, he said he is trying to get things right and asked his fans to keep him and his family in their prayers.
