STYRPER frontman Michael Sweet and his new wife Lisa were married on January 8, 2010 at a private ceremony with their families and closest friends by their side. A photo of the new couple can be viewed at the left.

The sad death of Sweet's wife, Kyle, was announced on March 5, 2009, after her two-year battle with ovarian cancer.

About his new love Lisa, Sweet commented: "I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to love again, unconditionally, without restraints, and to be loved in return the very same way. Although the past few years have been excruciatingly painful and trying, I feel as though I’ve been given a second chance at true love and to live life once again as it should be lived – happy, joyful and at peace. Most people are blessed in one lifetime with true love and I’ve been blessed twice and I continue to stand in awe of God’s favor and God’s hand upon my life. When you find someone that you can share your heart, mind and soul with and you long to share the rest of your life with, it cannot be planned or arranged, or forced in any way. It just happens – destiny unfolding right before your eyes and as a very dear friend of mine so recently said, 'God is playing Connect the Dots, and all the dots are connecting.'

Lisa is a unique person in the sense that she has the ability to love and accept everyone, unconditionally, and without judgement. She is kind and caring and always puts the needs and feelings of others before her own. She reminds me constantly of why I'm here and what I'm here to do - to be a light and an encouragement to those around me and those I come in contact with. I have to admit that it's been easy at times for me to lose sight of what I do and to take this ministry that God has loaned to me for granted. Lisa keeps me grounded and always helps me to come back to the reality and importance of what I do. She is a gift from God and I need her in my life."
