Anyone who is married will tell you it’s not easy.
When you’re married, you have to make a lot of sacrifices, deal with a lot of conflict, learn how to handle confrontation, etc., etc. Basically, it takes a lot of work, a lot of understanding and a lot of love to have a good, healthy, successful marriage.
As a married woman, I can’t imagine how the stress of being famous and having a career in the spotlight effects a marriage. It’s a whole added layer of stress that I just can’t quite comprehend, but there are some country music couples that just seem to get it. Somehow, even though I’m sure it’s not, they make marriage in the spotlight look easy.
10 Country Couples Who are Really Nailing this Whole Marriage Thing:
1. Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
Married since 2006, these two have worked through a lot together. Both being of the business, there have been a few bumps in the road in their nine years of marriage, but they have worked through and are still very much in love.

2. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
Married an impressive 19 years, Tim and Faith have never spent more than three consecutive days apart from each other. Even with their careers and three daughters, these two hold their marriage sacred above everything else.
