• "American Idol" alum Fantasia Barrino and her husband just celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary, and the famous singer took to Instagram to share a romantic montage of the couple lavishly commemorating their momentous milestone.
• In a previous interview, Barrino shared her views on the roles of men and women in a marriage.
• Earlier this year, the couple also shared photos of their adorable daughter on her 2nd birthday.

On July 18, world-renowned American singer Fantasia Barrino, 39, best known for her iconic win on season 3 of "American Idol," celebrated her 9th wedding anniversary with her husband, Kendall Taylor, 41. Barrino took to her Instagram page to post a series of romantic videos and pictures of the couple, showing her fans how the item lavishly commemorated the special day.

The video starts with a picture of a beautifully designed digital card with words printed on the front expressing what year 9 symbolizes for the happy couple. The card's message emphasizes their commitment to continue fortifying their strong bond and molding their vision of what they want their relationship to be. The background of the digital card revealed many pictures of the pair from other times during their partnership.

Following the picture of the card, videos of the couple's romantic getaway appear on the screen. The first video shows Barrino holding up two cards, each with the name of a destination written on them. Taylor picks the card on Barrino's left, which said that the couple would be headed to Miami to celebrate.

The montage then cuts to Barrino and Taylor seated on the airplane taking them on their voyage. After arriving in Miami, the couple started their day with a fancy lunch before the video cuts to another card-picking game.

Again, Barrino presents Taylor with two cards to determine how they would celebrate next. Following a fancy dessert, Taylor and his wife enjoyed a relaxing night cruise on a yacht to end their perfect day.

The footage of the couple's anniversary celebration was accompanied by Masego and FKJ's "Tadow," which set the right tone for the romantic atmosphere. In Barrino's caption, she spoke about how the idea of having a card game was provided by friends. She ended her statement by saying:

"We gone do whatever we want to do Boys. Happy Anniversary @salute1st 9 Years Baby."

Fantasia Barrino on Submitting to Her Husband

Barrino may be a fierce and independent woman who knows exactly what she wants, but when it comes to her role as a married woman, the "Free Yourself" singer has strong views about how women should conduct themselves in marriage. In a 2019 interview, she spoke about her views on gender roles in a marriage.

Barrino maintains that all women are queens and should be treated as such in their relationships. However, she says that the queen mentality should be done with respect, recognizing that the man is the leader in the relationship and the head of the household.

While still showing respect for the power women have in their relationships, the artist expressed that there are too many women in society who are not willing to yield to their husbands. Barrino voiced:

"We need more men to stand up and lead the way. Most women are trying to be the leader; that's why you can't find a man. You can't be the king in the house; fall back and be the queen and let your man lead the way."

When asked to further clarify what she meant by her statement in an effort to soothe the women who don't believe in yielding to their husbands or giving up their leadership abilities, the musician explained that the unyielding mindset is the reason why many husbands and wives get into arguments and bump heads all the time.

Barrino believes the fight against the submissive route has a lot to do with generational differences. As a result of society changing with the times, in many cases, women have had to step up and take on both mother and father roles at times. But for Fantasia, women "have to learn how to submit."

Though some may not agree with how Barrino views her role as a wife, it appears to work for her relationship with Taylor as they get closer to celebrating a decade of love and marital bliss.

To end off on a positive note, Barrino clarifies that her assertions do not mean the women's role as the queen of her castle becomes redundant. In fact, she stipulated that the king very much so relies on his queen to be able to grant him foresight for the things he is not able to see coming himself.

Barrino's husband shares her views on gender dynamics within a relationship. Taylor's belief in having a wife that performs wifely duties, such as getting dressed up for their men and only saving certain versions of themselves for their husbands, came out in his birthday tribute to Barrino this year:

"It's your birthday yet, knowing that I have you solely to myself and I experience a version of You that no other man ever has or will, kinda feels like I'm the one getting the best gift today!"

Fantasia Barrino's Husband Made Her a Mom Again

Besides being an incredibly successful vocalist and a doting wife, Barrino is also a mother. Of her children, she shares one daughter with Taylor, baby Keziah London Taylor. Barrino shared that the couple spent years trying to conceive Keziah before she finally became pregnant.

Keziah was born two months prematurely on May 23, 2021, and had to remain in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for a month before she could be brought home.

When Barrino finally showcased adorable photos of her baby girl coming home, celebrations were held in her honor. Barrino also shared a picture on her Instagram Story of the elaborate congratulatory sign that was placed on her lawn and made by a party designer to welcome baby Keziah home:

"Thank You So Much for making me Cry Loll!!! My Baby Deserved it because [she] kicked the NICU BUTT."

The couple celebrated Keziah's second birthday in May this year, and the loving parents dedicated heartwarming birthday tributes to her. In her Instagram post, Barrino wrote about how she views Keziah as their miracle baby who can achieve anything she sets her mind to.

The mama bear also boasted about how Keziah is already coming into her own and developing a strong personality, just like her. She posted a series of adorable pictures and a video of the cute little girl from different stages in her life, including her time in the NICU.

In his own separate post, Keziah's doting papa expressed the love, pride, and joy he has for his little girl. Of Keziah and the ways in which she has shaped his perception of parenting, Taylor disclosed:

"You're a Daddy's Girl to the core and being a Girl Dad is proving to be one of the greatest joys of my life!"

The "American Idol" season 3 winner and Taylor appear happier than ever as they marvel at their nine years together.

Though some may not agree with how Barrino views her role as a wife, it appears to work for her relationship with Taylor as they get closer to celebrating a decade of love and marital bliss.
