Tim McGraw got real recently when asked what his secret to a long and happy marriage was. He's been married to fellow country superstar Faith Hill for 18 years, and in celebrity world that's basically forever. McGraw knows that it takes work for any marriage to endure, and it's especially true when you're in show business and everyone is all up in your business.
The singer sat down with E! News recently to dish about his 13th studio album Sundown Heaven Town, but what we're really interested in is how he and Faith manage to keep the love in their marriage after all these years (and three kids!) together.
When asked what he thought the reason was behind his and Faith's happy marriage, he responded with the sweetest answer ever. "I got a great wife," he replied without hesitation. "That's the main thing."
Awww! You know what they say, happy wife equals happy life, and it's obvious that Tim likes to make sure his woman knows she's appreciated.
He also talked about the importance of family, and not letting the glitz and glitter of show biz get in the way of their home life.
"I think, for us, being as normal as possible and raising our family and being in a family situation as much as possible," he said. "Certainly it's different because of what we both do, but we try to keep it as much of a family environment that we can."
"And most of the time ... we try to make that the priority and the primary time that we spend," he continued. "For us, we leave the front doors when we go to work, but when we're home, we don't talk about none of the music that much ... It's a whole different world."
It sounds like this couple really has their priorities straight. They don't try to pretend like the careers they've chosen don't lead to special relationship challenges that us commonfolk don't have to deal with -- they do their best to keep them at bay and keep their focus on their family.
Do you think celebrities have it harder when it comes to relationship challenges?
