Pilar and Deion Sanders: How To Keep Your Marriage 'Spicy' BV EXCLUSIVE

What happens when a former flashy athlete, his model perfect wife and their five children, live in a hot 40,000-square-foot mansion and have their lives videotaped to find out what happens when black families get real? 'Prime Time' gold.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Oxygen's 'Deion & Pilar: Prime Time Love' set network records in its premiere airing, becoming the channel's most-watched original series premiere ever. Following the lives of sports star Deion Sanders, Pilar Sanders and their family, the reality show scored big in the desirable demos of women ages 18-34 and 18-49 and men and women 18-49.

While a plethora of reality shows focus on the booty hookup (read: 'Flavor of Love,' 'I Love New York,' 'Rock of Love' .... sensing a trend?), Deion and Pilar strive to produce a show based on genuine love and togetherness.

So what keeps a marriage hot and sexy (and more importantly, out of divorce court)?

Losing the granny panties, for one. What else? In the above exclusive video segment for Blackvoices.com, Deion and Pilar share how they've kept the flame burning in their marriage. (Feel free to take notes.)

Whew! These two were made for each other fashion wise. Not a good thing in this case, though.

In this 2004 shot, it was all about "former" professional football and baseball player Deion Sanders, whose clothes are more subdued, but still comes to the Maxim Magazine's Circus Maximus Party with streaks of the flamboyance we've come to know him for. (Photo by Evan Agostini, Getty Images)

After cutting all of his hair off, Deion has taken to wearing hats and chunky watches on a regular. The shorts still give us a glimpse of the man who likes to stand out in a crowd. (Photo by Greg Fiume, Getty Images)

If body language tells it, Deion is most comfortable on the field; he's all smiles in his warm ups with the Baltimore Ravens during a preseason game against the New York Giants in September 2004. (Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant, Getty Images)
