<p id=”par-7_62″>“I believe in God now more than I ever have in my life,” Shelton told <a href=”https://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2019/12/05/blake-shelton-talks-about-gods-country-fully-loaded-release-gwen-stefani-relationship-finding-faith/2589010001/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Tennessean</a>. “The biggest part of that is just how (Gwen) came into my life and now our relationship. It’s just too weird. If you take God out of it, it <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/blake-shelton-said-relationship-gwen-stefani-sense-god.html/”>doesn’t make sense</a>. If you put God into it, everything that’s happened with us makes sense.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_13″>Shelton <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-purposely-kept-wedding-simple.html/”>built Stefani a chapel</a> on their Oklahoma property where they got married.</p>

<p id=”par-9_25″>Stefani has always been very Catholic, and her faith has rubbed off on Shelton. He said his relationship with her has made him more religious.</p>
<p id=”par-10_71″>“Honestly, looking back, under the circumstances that Gwen and I fell in love with each other and got together, that alone was all the proof I needed, you know? She has such a strong faith in God,” he told <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aItaLnii78I&t” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Country Radio Seminar</a>. “If Gwen was sitting here right now, she would go, ‘God, and then everything else.’ <em>Everything</em> else. That’s No. 1 in her life and has been her whole life.”</p>

<p id=”par-12_64″>“She doesn’t beat you over the head with it. That’s her relationship,” he said. “I’ve learned a lot from Gwen about a lot of things. Just really watching her, and learning from her, and learning how she thinks, and how she treats people, and how she just operates in her life. Naturally, I start seeing the God in everything, you know? Because she does.”</p>
