Cece and Love have a huge age difference of 16 years. The two met when Cece was 17 and Love was 33 years at the time through mutual acquaintances. “I met Alvin while bowling, but we didn’t even talk that night. He was cute, but my mind was on singing, not dating.”
Love spent a weekend with the Winans family while they were in South Carolina and sparks began to fly. They courted for a year less than a year before they got married on 23rd June 1984. During an interview with ‘Today’s Christian Women’ in 2008, the couple shared that it took them about 10 years to discover the true meaning of a solid marriage.
“I learned what it meant to love CeCe the way Christ loved the church. Jesus stands by us no matter how stubborn or disobedient we’ve been. We try to go back to that conference every year now. The second time they asked us to share about our marriage, and I cried. I looked back and realized God’s grace in my life—where I’ve come from and what he’s blessed me with in CeCe.” Love said.
“Getting married taught me how selfish I was, It makes you accuse your partner: ‘You did this. You did that.’ It’s not Christlike. But Alvin and I were hearing God’s Word at church and applying it to our lives. Even just ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is good marriage advice. It boils down to whether you love God more than you love yourself.” Cece said.
She and her husband pastor Alvin Love II are congregants of Nashville Life Church in Nashville, where they serve as the lead servants and their children are involved in the ministry.

The last five years I’ve been really focused on the church. It’s taken up all of my time and heart and passion. There was a call that my husband and I answered; this was something that we had not planned on doing in our lives. But we’ve been empowered to serve, so we are making disciples. That’s our focus for our church, to make disciples. The majority of the church is Millennials, which is very exciting. It’s a diverse church.
