Ma$e and his wife, Twyla have their own Atlanta congregation online and off.? The couple spends a lot of time talking about happy marriages and even sells a video for a ?successful marriage? series on the church?s website.

But while Pastor Betha and his wife publicly portrayed the face of a happily married church couple, they were also battling it out in divorce court!
Details below…
Mase asked for full custody of their two kids and even wanted HER to pay HIM child support.
He claims they separated August 2013 — after 12 years of marriage.
But just over a month later — the day before Valentine’s Day — Mase inexplicably had a change of heart, filing to dismiss his divorce petition.
The fiasco is priceless — if you look at the website for Mase’s El Elyon International Church in Atlanta … the entire thing is built around his successful relationship with his wife. The two even hawk their “successful marriage” book series called “What Do You Do After I Do?”
And the book description is perfect: “In this series, Mason and Twyla Betha share keys to build a marriage that will last a lifetime.”
Define “lifetime.”
We reached out to the Mase and his church … radio silence.
Maybe the divorce filing was actually Ma$e’s key to ‘build a marriage that will last a lifetime’. They’re still together right?
