Ever so often, we hear that our favorite celebrity couple has broken up or called their divorce lawyers to legally call it quits and it just ruins our day. Think Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Of course, it’s a sad event made even worse when family lawyers are involved and the parents fight for the custody of their children.

And yet, there are plenty of stars who have stayed together for a long time and weathered many storms together. Sure, marriage is a gamble, and there are many times when one feels like loading their U-Haul and moving out, but in the end… love wins! That’s why it’s so heartening to hear of long lasting marriages and relationships, which certainly is not the norm in Hollywood.

Here are some celebrity couples who have us rooting for them.

Tim McGraw – Married to Faith Hill for 22 Years

Usually when a couple works together on a professional level, things can get heated and fights are inevitable, but this rule is not applicable to out next couple, country singers Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. That’s because apart from having very successful solo careers, this duo is making even better music when they write, perform and tour together.

Both Tim and Faith were with other people when they met and sang together at a radio event in 1994. Just two years later, the pair lured a whole group of close friends and family to Louisiana on the pretext of a soft ball tournament and private concert, but instead surprised them with the news that they would be getting married right then and there. Now, as parents of 3 daughters, having a huge net worth and an island of their own, life’s looking good for Faith and Tim!

Toby Keith – Married to Tricia Lucus for 35 Years

It was 35 years ago, in 1984, when Tricia Lucus walked down the aisle to marry her husband, Toby Keith and although it was a happy day for them, the family was going through a rough financial phase. You see Toby had just quit his work at the oil fields since work was difficult to come by and he wanted to start a career in music.

Eventually, his move worked out for the best since he is one of the biggest country singers out there, and all the while Tricia was cheering him on. The couple met at a club when she was 19 and he was 20. Tricia already had a daughter from a previous relationship and Toby adopted her after the wedding. The couple also have two kids of their own.

Barbara Mandrell – Married to Ken Dudney for 53 Years

A blessed marriage of over five decades! Barbara Mandrell and Ken Dudney are surely defying the norm with their age-old romance. No one could have predicted the start of an extraordinary love story between the then 14-year-old child prodigy and the handsome, 21-year-old Ken. Want to know how?

Dudney captured the legendary country singer’s heart when her father hired him as the Mandrell family’s drummer for the band. From there on, their bond kept getting stronger and both had successful professional lives as well. Their secret to a happy marriage – “keeping God at the center.” That’s certainly inspiring!
