DeVon Franklinhas learned some important relationship lessons that he’ll be bringing toseason 15of Lifetime’sMarried at First Sight.
“Resist the temptation to place blame, take responsibility,” Franklin 44, told theNew York Poston the red carpet at Sunday’sBET Awards.
“Sometimes in relationships it’s very easy to say ‘Oh, that person’s the problem,'” he continued. “No, look in the mirror and say ‘What’s my part in this and what can I do to make change in myself?'”
Added the preacher and producer, who recently divorced actressMeagan Good: “I have a lot to offer. And that I am passionate about love, I am passionate about relationships, and I do want to see people find their person. Everything I’ve been through, I’ve found that all of that helps not only myself but others.”

In December, Franklin and Good exclusivelyconfirmed their divorcewith PEOPLE after nine years of marriage.
“After much prayer and consideration, we have decided to go into our futures separately but forever connected,” they said in a joint statement at the time.
“We celebrate almost a decade of marriage together and a love that is eternal. There’s no one at fault, we believe this is the next best chapter in the evolution of our love,” they continued.
Franklin and theHarlemstar concluded, “We are incredibly grateful for the life-changing years we’ve spent together as husband and wife. We are also extremely thankful to God for the testimony being created inside us both and for blessing our lives with each other.”

She continued in part, “Even in doing that, I do have gratitude and so much joy in my heart for these past 11 years that DeVon and I have been together — what he’s given to my life and what I was able to give to him. Every season, every single part of it has been incredible.”
