It's not easy to be married to someone in the entertainment field if you are in it yourself. Competing egos, the stress of being on the road, and never having enough alone time have all contributed to many couples splitting up. But some country music twosomes have found the formula to keep their love fresh and alive after decades of blissful wedlock. You may not even have known that these luminaries are each other's spouses. So let's take a closer look at the relationships of country supercouples Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and Chris Stapleton and Morgane Stapleton.

Clint Black And Lisa Hartman Black
Per cowboysandindians.com, "One of country music's most enduring couples, Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black have been together for more than three decades." Black has earned renown and respect within and beyond the music industry for smashes such as "A Better Man," "Like the Rain," and "Killin' Time." Hartman Black was on the popular prime time TV soap Knots Landing and she sings as well as acts. The pair walked down the aisle in 1991. Watch the video of them singing "When I Said I Do." It's stunning.
Garth Brooks And Trisha Yearwood
Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have been married for 20 years. They certainly look very happy! I recently watched an interview with her online in which she said they are crazy about each other and are very naturally compatible. That is remarkable, given the intense public and media pressure they receive, plus the enormous attention that each of them gets because of their stature in the business. Still, Brooks and Yearwood make a fabulous pair. When they sang John Lennon's classic ballad, "Imagine," at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter recently, there was awestruck silence from the throng.
Tim McGraw And Faith Hill
When these two country music giants sing together, they sizzle. Their chemistry leaps out at you, and it's real, not contrived. A married couple since 1996, they share three daughters - Maggie, Gracie, and Audrey. McGraw and Hill's duets are sensational. I gush over "Like We Never Loved at All" from Hill's album Fireflies, but "Let's Make Love" is equally phenomenal. With a romantic video filmed in Paris, it elevates this charming wedded country couple to near royal status.
Chris Stapleton And Morgane Stapleton
Chris and Morgane Stapleton have been married for eighteen years. The outlet calls them "the ultimate music duo." He has won more Grammy, ACM, and CMA awards than any mantel or display case could possibly hold. She is a songwriter and singer in her own right who has crafted tunes for stars such as Carrie Underwood. Chris and Morgane duet together, and when they do, it's absolutely magical. When this married couple sings "You Are My Sunshine," it has a dramatic depth you never guessed at.
