Erin and Ben Napier Reveal Their ‘True Test of a Marriage’
By Movieguide® Contributor
HOME TOWN’s Erin and Ben Napier are sharing their “true test of marriage.”
“You know they say the true test of a marriage is painting a room together,” Ben said in a behind-the-scenes clip posted by HGTV.
Erin added, “No, it’s hanging curtains.”
The video shows the couple trying to hang a curtain rod in a backyard area, but they keep running into problems, from hanging the curtains backward to dropping brackets.
“If you can do it without a cuss out, you’re gonna make it,” Erin joked.
The Napiers know all about the key to a healthy marriage; they recently celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary.
“I sometimes think of all the people in the world, and how the earth is just this tiny dusty speck in the universe. And somehow, we managed to find each other,” Erin wrote in a sweet Instagram post. “Thank you, Lord, for 15 years in a marriage that feels like home and comfort and assurance and strength and LOVE. We are so lucky to have found each other young and grown up around each other, forming these identities.”
The HGTV stars are currently working on Season 3 of HOME TOWN TAKEOVER, which is set to take place in Sebring, Florida.
“It’s a really interesting town that we are really excited [about]—We are cautiously optimistic about it,” Ben shared. “But this show is really hard to make, and we have…a lot of special guests coming and a lot of people coming in to help, but there’s going to be a lot of work that’s going to go into it.”
Movieguide® previously reported on the upcoming season of HOME TOWN TAKEOVER:
Ben and Erin Napier’s HOME TOWN TAKEOVER has come to Sebring, Florida, for Season 3, and a lot has happened since filming began.
[Ben and Erin], with the help of a slew of all-star experts, will tackle several renovation projects across homes, local businesses and public spaces in the historic lakeside town,” a description for this season reads. “The goal of the projects will be to amplify the town’s charm, build community pride and make Sebring a must-visit destination.”
Production began at the end of February, and the fruits of their labor have begun to show around town as renovations on old businesses and buildings are coming to a close, leaving the town covered in a new coat of paint. Many of these buildings are receiving more major updates, such as new windows, roofs and interior layouts.
Lucky members of the community will also have their homes renovated as Ben and Erin work to fully revitalize the community.
Though an official date hasn’t been set yet, the season is slated to hit TV at the beginning of next year.
