Country music certainly has its fair share of songs about infidelity and cheating, but that doesn’t mean that country singers can’t have long, happy marriages away from the spotlight.
While country’s shortest and most contentious marriages attract a lot of coverage, there are actually quite a few happy, decades-long marriages in country music.
Who Are the Happiest Married Couples in Country Music?
Some of the happiest country music marriages are between fellow artists, including Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, Little Big Town singers Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook and more.
On the other hand, quite a few of country music’s happiest and longest-lasting marriages include a spouse who — though mostly unknown to the fans — is actually the secret power behind the throne.
Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren, are a perfect example of that, as she not only inspires many of his songs, but also weighs in on the others.
Some of the country music couples in the list below have been married just a few years, and some have been together for decades. But all of the country stars’ marriags that made the list have this much in common: they seem to be blissfully happy unions.
