Why Did I Get Married - The Sheards
In the final installment of The Powder Room’s Why Did I Get Married? series, we sit down with Lawrence and Joycelyn Sheard, a couple who prove that love has no expiration date. Married for just 2.5 years, their story is one of second chances, unexpected blessings and a love that is equal parts heartfelt and enjoyable.
Lawrence, a widower and Joycelyn, previously divorced and widowed — never imagined they would marry again. But God had other plans. What neither was seeking, they found in each other: Joy, companionship and a partnership built on mutual respect and honest communication.
In this candid conversation, Lawrence and Joycelyn let us peek into the beauty of encountering love later in life—a love that’s fun, spicy, and ever evolving. Their journey is a reminder that it’s never too late to experience love, laughter and God’s perfect timing.
