\u201cThe Voice\u201d judge Gwen Stefani recently opened up about her faith, sharing that God helps her through the business of life. She told People Magazine, <\/em>\u201cIt\u2019s literally schedule, schedule, schedule. But there is a balance. For me, the only way that I\u2019ve gotten this far is with my spiritual faith and being able to take time out to pray. You see the miracles, and that\u2019s inspiration and fuel to keep it going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, Stefani shared how much her husband, Blake Shelton, has changed her life, including a move to Oklahoma. She shared, \u201cI didn\u2019t see any of this coming with Blake. This was just a big old \u2018What?\u2019 It was an amazing gift to experience love like that for the first time. He\u2019s changed my life. When I started dating Blake, that\u2019s when I felt home, like: \u2018Oh, this is where I\u2019m supposed to be, with this guy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

She laughed, referencing their move to the Midwest, \u201cI am not really a dirt or a bug person. I don\u2019t like that much humidity. But it\u2019s so beautiful in Oklahoma, and you kind of feel like you\u2019re going into this vortex. Nature, and God, is all right there.\u201d Stefani also shared how her new life has allowed her to be there for her children. She added, \u201cWhen my kids were teenagers, I really wanted to make sure that I was home for them, and here we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelton said of their move, \u201cWe get away from everything in LA, and we\u2019re just us. It truly does feel different. That\u2019s where I feel the most comfortable, happy and safe.\u201d Shelton and Stefani don\u2019t have any children together, but he treats Stefani\u2019s three sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo, whom she shares with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, like his own. Shelton said, \u201cI think being a stepdad has changed my perspective in that I\u2019m not the first person I think about anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
