How long have Tim McGraw and Faith Hill been married? Singer says marriage to country star feels lik
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Tim McGraw recently shared his insights on the enduring success of his marriage to fellow country star Faith Hill, whom he wed in 1996.
Reflecting on their journey, he humorously mused to Entertainment Tonight Canada, "I don’t know if there’s a key. We always say we’re 27 years coming up, it’s like 96 in show business. It's almost like dog years."
He elaborated on their approach, saying, "We just made a commitment early on, when we first decided we were getting married and having kids, that we wouldn’t just walk out the door when problems arose."
This commitment to weathering challenges together has been a cornerstone of their relationship.
