Yolanda Adams and Tim Crawford were married in 1997. It was her second marriage. She’s talked before about how a previous relationship before Crawford was abusive, and she’d often counsel women not to ignore red flags in relationships.
Adams told Cross Rhythms that she would advise women, “if you know a person has a certain kind of dysfunction before you get involved with them or marry them, please understand that you cannot change that person. If he’s physically abusive now, he’ll be physically abusive when you’re married – in fact, it will escalate.”

Adams told Christian Post about the divorce: “Well one of the myths about divorce, is that somebody did something… There are just times when it just doesn’t fit anymore, for whatever reason. When people tell you, ‘Hey I just can’t do this anymore,’ you’ve got to respect that. So what you do is you respect that person’s feelings, you respect that person’s space.”
