Gospel singer Kierra Sheard has been facing criticism for her views on setting boundaries in her marriage. She emphasized the importance of establishing boundaries in relationships, especially with her single friends, as she believes it is essential to represent herself differently as a married woman. She credited her mother, Karen Clark Sheard, for instilling these values in her, advising her not to let others, especially single women, into her household. She expressed her cautious approach in maintaining boundaries, mentioning that she would prefer to provide a hotel room for a friend rather than letting

them stay at her house. She stressed the significance of prayer and discernment in determining the role she plays in others' lives. She highlighted the balance needed in relationships and the importance of having wise friends who can offer counsel. Despite criticism suggesting that she lacks trust in her friends and husband, Sheard stood by her beliefs on boundaries and shared a biblical scripture emphasizing the value of setting boundaries and making prayerful decisions. She tied these principles to wisdom and security in relationships. She and her husband tied the knot in December 2020.
