This will probably be one of the shortest posts I ever write, but though it should be something to be posted. Over the course of the last few months it has dawned on me, that the public isn't really sure of my relationship status, and the backbone of what makes Ephren tick. This was a major wakeup call that maybe I didn't talk about my family enough, then I pondered about the security issues of letting people know the intimate details about my family.
With that being said I did want to take the time for all the facebook, myspace, youtube, and any other social network friend sites I am on, to answer a common question. The question of whether Ephren Taylor is married or not?
The truth is that I am happily married for over 5 years to Mrs. MeShelle Taylor, and I have two children. So yes I am married, and off the market, and have a family as well.
I am beginning to realize now that life gets crazy after you make national TV. I never had so much attention in my life. I mean for a guy that could never get a girls phone number, its amazing how many just show up in the email box now, with photos. This is a new world. I'm kinda old school, and think the guy should ask for the number or date. However it is 2008, and I think I saw a statistic out that 70% of African American women are single.
The relevance is that for any brother who has no kids, no criminal record, a career/company, and stable financial is "Filet Mignon" on the dating market right now. Unfortunately the supply is short and demand is so high, that some people have went to some interesting lengths to find a potential mate. However I wanted to take the time to let the world know this steak, was ordered by a lovely lady 5 years ago. She saw the potential of a nerd, whose shoes were tied to tight. Now look at me!
Sorry ladies Ephren is off the market. I do have two younger brothers though and they aren't married :) !
That was cool though, being a nerd isn't bad, just appreciating what you have no matter how you think of yourself is always great.

Well stated. I was overwhelmed by your achievements once I was made aware. So much so that I shared one of your articles with my 15-year-old son who is seeking direction for his life. As if that was not enough, clearing the air in regards to your marital status has convinced me that you are genuinely a man of honor. I truly admire you for that. Continue to represent!

Ephren,
This is good! And great advisement for males, youth, and adults. Your speech is a good one for the road. Keep on the moving, and making a difference.

Ephren, you are too funny. I'm reading this to Orpheus and we are both just cracking up at you. You are a trip :-)
Take care and be safe.
