Your story isn't unique in that every couple struggles in big and small ways. But I'm very, very grateful that you two have shared YOUR story. THAT IS unique because we get to see how you two - two totally unique people and a completely unique couple - have persevered. And that's the key word: You're choosing to persevere and push through the hardships and to honor God and honor your vows. I was very, very scared when I saw your headline to this video because I was afraid for you both...that this was an ending to something beautiful. I shall remember you both in my prayers and I encourage you both to keep Jesus at the VERY FRONT of your marriage. That'll make all the difference. Thank you for your honesty. Even if you didn't put another video out, Mike, I'd be OVERJOYED knowing you two are still together. With all my heart, I love you both and I thank you for the joy you two have given us with your music and your honesty. GOD BLESS YOU!

@@MikeTompkins You're very welcome, Mike. We would never see an end to this comment of mine if I tried to explain all the things that I adore about your music career and you, personally. How you have kept your performances (and music covers) clean and appropriate so that virtually everyone can enjoy what you do (heck, if I had kids, I'd let them watch your stuff without any fears they'd see something they shouldn't!). You have been humble at all times and always ready with friendship and compassion to those around - certainly as far as I have witnessed. It's very clear to me that you love your wife and that she loves you. That's to be celebrated (you know the "friends" in the Song Of Solomon book in the Bible? I like to think I'd be among those "friends" who celebrate the Lover and the Beloved...who celebrate you and your wife). With that, let me encourage you further with a couple of songs: "Begin Again" by Jason Gray kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIef2dtrcsrAis4.html "Broken Together by Casting Crowns kzread.info/dash/bejne/jHV12LJ9l67MY5M.html - With love, Michael Miler Jr

My heart almost stopped when I got this notification. Thank God you've managed to work it out and stay together.. I wish you all the best Mike, Kayla and the kids. Enjoy life and try to do what makes all of you happy ❤

I'm glad to two stayed together! I am not married, i'm only 17, but I do know that marriage has it's ups and downs. And I believe you guys are strong enough to get through. I'll be prying for you! God bless you and your family!

This is probably the most realistic explanation of what a marriage, even what love really is. Life can be our biggest obstacle, those tough times help us test our love that can overcome it all.

Oh wow. We really had no idea. Thank you so much for your courage to share this with us. I know I am so happy that you both were able to fight for each other and are happy together. It gives me joy and hope. When I see you both, over the years, I’ve always thought “relationship goals” if I ever found someone and fell in love, I wanted what you both have (what we saw and assumed) but this, what you shared and have done, that’s what I want. Thank you both for everything you have done and shared with us. You’re amazing and strong and even as strangers, we’re family too. God bless you both and your boys ❤️

This hurt my soul. Until the end.relationships are so complex. Wishing you lots of strength and love mwa

Yaaaaaay! Such a relief that it wasn't what I thought it was when I saw the title. May God continue to bless and keep your beautiful family together in his love.

Man.... love redemption stories. My wife and I have a similar one. Grateful for your testimony. Faith in God is so critical. I had lost touch with your videos but decided to show my boys a couple last night and it brought me back to your channel. So glad your name popped into my head. Thank you for the encouragement and reminder of how God can redeem anything and when we are weak, He is strong.

Oh my, you were scaring me so much! You have brought so much joy to so many people's lives, I hope that God will help you find the path that leads you to your true happiness! You'll be in my prayers!

I REALLY RESPECT HOW HONEST YOU GUYS ARE. THANK U SO MUCH

What a beautiful miracle it is when spouses decide to choose each other again and again- congrats to you both for putting in the work and sharing your story 🙌🏼 May God continue to bless your marriage and your sweet family 🙏🏼✨🌈

I was about to cry when I saw the title because for me it’s impossible that you both can be separated. But you both are so strong and you knew how to overcome everything. I am so proud of you both and I wish you both all the happiness into the world 💕

I remember saying hi to you outside that Starbucks before you were about to move to LA! It's so brave of you to share this story. My husband and I have hit some hard, dark places throughout the last year and realized just how disconnected we were as well. I am so glad to see you two coming together and finding your love again. I can relate to coming out of that dark tunnel together and finding that love much stronger than you ever thought. You, your daughter and the people who surround your world will be better for the hard hard hard work you've done and continue to do. Thanks for sharing. It makes us 'regular people' feel less alone. Stay strong. Gabby L (now Gabby V lol)

It's scary to be vulnerable and completely honest. I am so grateful to have that with my husband. It's hard sometimes, and can hurt, but it allows growth, to evolve together, and can be so gratifying.

Bro! My heart dropped when I read the title. So powerful. Thank you for sharing

Some one have said once: “No servant can be a slave to two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. “. You choose well! 👌🙂

The key is your Faith in God 🙏🏻❤️

Love your vulnerability. Thank you for sharing and I wish you all the best!!!

I had to stop working to watch this! God bless you both! Prayers sent your way.

Proud of you two. Take your time and make your relationship work for you Those of us who really care about you will always be here.

I hope you guys feel better ❣️ You guys deserve a lot of what you guys have and I hope you guys be happy :)

Thank you so much for sharing your story! Thank you for fighting for your marriage! Your example is powerful!

Thank you for sharing and being willing to be so vulnerable. I hope it will help others in their own journeys. 8m so happy to hear you were able to find each other and yourselves again, much much love to you ❤️❤️

This is so inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing your light in this world!

Your story is so raw and inspiring. It’ll help so many people. It’s amazing how God continually fights for us.

So proud of you guys!!! Family is not easy but to have everything else going on is just crazy. Good luck and sending you all love!

Beautifully expressed and shared!! I love that you guys are doing life intentionally. Praying for you guys!! Keep moving forward 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💜💜💜💜💜💜

God Bless you both 🙏 Thank you for your honesty ~ sending you thoughts and prayers from Lehigh Valley, PA 😇 Love and light ❤💛💖💚💜🧡💙

Very powerful. I particularly appreciated the points you made that once you were free to communicate because you were at your lowest (and breaking) point, that's when things started to improve. The importance of communication in a relationship and living in truth with your significant other CANNOT be overstated. I also really appreciated how you said your passion became your identity, and that was a part of the problem. Everyone is more than their passions, but its so easy to lose yourself in them. Glad you two weathered the storm. Hopefully the skies are mostly clear ahead

I'm so proud of you and I encourage you to keep searching, keep loving, and keep living to find yourselves together and as individuals but working as a team. I'm so grateful for you sharing your story cause it brings hope on those marriages, couples and future couples to don't give up, find your true purpose and trust and communicate with each other. So, thank you both. We love you.

You two are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your story. My wife and I have had our issues but like you we have chosen to fight for each other and our family. It is a decision you must make everyday. You guys are an inspiration to others that are struggling to find their way. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Thank you for making yourselves vulnerable , your story is a story of hope and a testament to your faith .

With my husband for 19 years and counting. You are definitely doing it right by talking and being honest about what's on your heart and having real conversations about alternatives to not continuing your relationship. It really helps to keep your priorities straight and focus on how to make each other feel appreciated and valuable. Thank you for sharing your story. It helps us all to know we all share with momentary struggles in our marriages. Blessings to you both and your family. Keep on keeping on. 😊

Love to see you guys together. Marriage goes through redefinition on a regular basis. Look how amazing you are!

Thank you for sharing your story. I know it was hard for the 2 of you to open up. Mike, God has given you a wonderful talent. I’m glad you are looking at ways to glorify Him with it. Stay strong and love that wonderful family! Your wife is a strong person. You are blessed to have her at your side. I look forward to seeing the path your life takes.

Thank you for letting us in on your journey. I wish love for both of you. I'm happy things have gotten better for you guys.

More strength and love to you guys and the fact that you decided to fight for your relationship makes me all the way prouder of you two.💕

Thankyou soo much for being soo open❤️ sending lots of love

I'm rooting for you guys! Every marriage experiences its rain storms & I can tell you'll be able to see it through. I'm praying for you and your family!

Wow! So beautiful! Thanks for sharing:) It's inspiring and encouraching seeing a bit how you got through this really hard times. Just Thanks!

Thank you for sharing! Glad you guys pushed ahead and came out so much stronger together! Sending your family lots of love

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love this and your an amazing family. My son is currently 11 yrs old with autism and he enjoys your music videos so so so much. He even started try making the noises with his mouth and beat boxing. He watches your videos over and over. ❤️❤️❤️

You both are incredibly encouraging and I’m hoping for more good neighbors episodes in the future as they offer a breath of positivity and encouragement for us all! Also loving your new music Mike! Such a unique sound with so much emotion that really speaks! Stay safe and be well!

I'm so happy that you shared this! Thank you for being honest! We've been married for 10 years now, were going through the same as our kids were very little. God is faithful and He loves you both as weak humans. Wishing you a wonderful year and many many more! ❤

I so appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable. Marriage is HARD, period. But I can't imagine how much more difficult marriage in a bubble like the music industry is. Thank you for sharing this with us. May God bless this next stage, and may He continue to bless you as a couple and as a family.

Family first. So thankful you are working through this. Praying for you all!!

Thank you for sharing. 😊 There is so many couples that go/going through this and sharing with other and showing that with God and fighting for what you love, all will fall into place. 😊 God Bless you two.. 😊

Great video! Glad you two are evolving on that next level, that family level. It's great you two want to push for that passion, but know family is important so if you must take a break. Marriage is about compromise and working together, don't loose that. Pray for you two and your family.

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm so glad that you are guided by faith in God. He loves you and has the best for you. Thank you for witnessing His goodness and putting your family first. Those precious children will reap the benefit of your good choices. I know that you will help so many people on your journey. I look forward to following your journey. (Jane in SC)❤️🙏

We hear often of how challenging sudden success can be and how it can overwhelm relationships. But, we never really hear the simple 'nuts and bolts' description of how that progresses, nor the road out of that to a better place. I'm SO glad you two kept your wits, and your love, about you and preserved and grew your relationship and family while keeping your career. I know it had to have been hard work, and based on your sincere commitment to eachother, and your children. Congratulations on crafting and preserving your wonderful lives. And, thank you for a great and constructive share. 💖

Guys,years ago I was watching your videos here on youtube and just now was thinking about you and saw this video. I am sooo happy that you chose to be together. May God bless your family💗💗💗With Him everything is possible. Be happy. Family that prays together-stays together. Love,from TN.

So proud of you guys for putting your relationship and you family first. Wishing you nothing but abundant happiness together, regardless of what life throws in your path. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and for being so open with your story. Much love!

Thank you for this. This was very encouraging.

I wish you guys the best in finding happiness and success and fulfillment in whatever ways you can! Good luck going forward

I’m so happy that you have each other. Keep flourishing!

Big fan for both of you. Your love is unbreakable! Keep being amazing

It's nice to hear marriage-positive messages like this one. Thanks for sharing your struggles.

Thank you both for sharing!

I have been a fan since you first became famous and this is so beautiful. Much love to you guys!

Thank you for sharing your story!!!

Thank you. Thank you for your transparency. We have enjoyed everything you do, and forgive us for our selfishness. What you do doesn't come easily and does demand much from you. I am thankful you discovered, in time, how much of your "self" was going into what you do and not so much into what matters most: your marriage and your family. Thank God you're working things out. Can't wait for what's next, but it's alright. We can wait.

That's awesome. I am happy you chose to fight for your marriage and keep God at the center of it. Thanks for sharing!

Kayla, I've been praying for you since north park days, and Mike, well.. I've been praying for you since lgt days when I first met you. Now I've got some clearer direction on what to pray for. Thank you for being transparent.

Thank you Mike for share your story and with the maturity with which you have made this decision.

Thanks for your honesty. It’s inspiring to hear your story

Amen!!!! Love your story.

I'm so glad you worked through it. You two are so lovely. Love love love from England. Xxx

Proud of you! Sending love! ❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing your learned life lessons with us, you are awesome, keep going!

I'm so glad you worked things out.

WOW, WOW, WOW, I am so very extremely happy to hear the you have worked thought his time and took the time required to reevaluate your life's and what's important to you, Your love and family should always come first and of course you know this, this is a beautiful thing here, I'm sure their may still be issues along the way but am so happy that your both willing to work though this, it's very impassive to me, I know we only got the gist of the situation, but that's OK, it's personal stuff that you don't need to share fully. Mike, you are a big man, I have so much respect for you being strong enough to recognize within yourself who you are and who you want need to be for your family, I know you know this, but Family, God and Work in that order and all else will work itself out. Thank you both for sharing this. I am so very happy for you and your family.. I am just ecstatic right now OK.... right, I have no more words.

Painfully refreshing…thank you.

My god, I got so scared, my heart raced ! I'm glad you've managed to work it out. Wish you all the best ! ❤️

Hope everything works out well for you guys ❤️

ive been watching your videos since i was an 11 year old seventh grader and now ive been a teacher to 11 yr olds and im getting married in a few months. u guys feel like family to me and im so glad and so proud that u two chose to be strong for each other and for urselves ♥️

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING ♥️GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ALWAYS 💯✝️GOD IS GOOD 💙

Way to go Mike (and Mike's wife)! As a Marriage and Family Therapist and Social Worker, it's my life's work to see marriages succeed. It's great to hear stories like yours and the worth you've found making it through this together. Sometimes, sharing a story like yours can make a difference for others struggling too. Personally, I add that it doesn't surprise me that having God a part of your marriage helped as well. In fact that's a common attribute of strong families. Thank you for sharing your story.

I think many couples reach that point, where communication breaks down and the secrets we keep to spare each other start to cause issues. I'm glad you guys managed to move through it. Many couples don't. I don't know if anyone has told you guys this, but I will: I'm so proud of you two!

Way to go you two. Congratulations on your future. Wow!

i dunno how this video ended up on my timeline but seriously i thank god that it is- thank you for telling such a story but a whole lot of congratulations to both of you for realizing and understanding to one another and to always have faith and believe in what you have 😇 it gave me strength that seems i can help my family as well 💪 let's all be strong and keep working on that 'us'

You guys are such a beautiful and blessed couple! May God help you to love each other more and more each passing day ♡

Yeah 🤗. Working it out and staying focused on truth for the relationship and family 👪

Oh guys, heart breaking. I pray you can draw closer through all of this, for you and your family!💙🙏🕊

I love his Dynamite Acapella. Really changed my childhood for the better

God bless you in your journey as a couple, as a family. You made the good decision, deciding to overcome your struggles.

Sending you guys love!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your stories. Sounds like you have actually started really having your story. That journey, though different from the previous journey, is as rewarding. I think you both need to move to the next level ... writing your own stories that tell of what love actually is, not the bubble gum ideas. Focus on yourselves and your stories in lyrics. You have it in you. Peace

happy for you guys. I wish you have all the happiness you deserve.

Very cool, following you since 2010. Love you lived in a van and traveled. Keep going, both of you. Light ahead :)

How beautiful it is you both discovered what marriage really is, a constant fine tuning of emotions. You guys will stay together forever. Mark my words ❤️

Thanks for sharing your story. Your family and individual missions will evolve as God places you in different situations and surrounds you with different people. May He bless you abundantly, now and for eternity!

This made me cry ♥️ every couple struggles. But I’m glad you guys chose to fight and stay together and work on it. ♥️ today is me and my husbands 3 year anniversary of the day we met. And we are married and have Two beautiful children. Stay & fight! HOLD THE LINE. ♥️♥️♥️

You guys are awesome for sharing. Agree with others that relationships are work, and it's too easy to let other things in our life make us forget that lesson. Glad you guys have found that out before too much damage was done, and hope the journey for you continues together with much joy AND success! I am going to give you grief for the click-bait title :-0

Love this, thanks for sharing. Would love for you to share your story in South Africa.

Awesome you guys! God bless!

You two got this💯💯.. for sure🥳🥳

Love you guys!

Wow! Awesome story!
