Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will celebrate their 28th wedding anniversary on Sunday, October 6th. The couple has maintained two country music careers and raised three daughters who are all adults now. They certainly represent "#goals" for a lot of couples. Tim offers some advice on how to maintain a successful marriage for as long as he and Faith have.

He told us, "Oh, I am not an expert. I don’t think anybody is. Marriage is... I mean, any relationship’s tough if you don’t cultivate it, you know, and certainly if you’re not committed to it. Love and respect are always important, but I think that knowing that there’s gonna be tough times and knowing there’s gonna be times where you don’t like each other as much."

The country superstar added, "I think that it’s knowing those things are gonna be there and still knowing that you’re gonna get through the other side of it and you want to be together, and this is what you want your life to look like. I think that is the important thing."

McGraw recently posted the sweetest birthday message to his wife Faith Hill. He does so every year on her birthday. He does say a lot of special things about her and brags about her just a little.

The couple met in the 90s when Tim McGraw was doing a CMT tour, and Faith Hill was hired to open for him. The love affair started there, and it wasn’t too long before Tim proposed, and the couple was married on October 6, 1996.

McGraw posted, "Happy birthday to this remarkable woman! My beautiful, strong, crazy, badass wife!!!! I love my girl with everything that I am and could ever hope to be! She is our beacon, our rock, our strength. The girls and I are so very blessed! Our girls could not have a better role model in their lives as how to be an incredibly strong woman. And how to believe in themselves and be in charge of their lives (every aspect of their lives)! Let's honor the women in our lives with respect and make sure that we fight for their rights right alongside them!"

Many of Tim and Faith’s diehard fans commented on the sweet post. One fan wrote, "Thank you for being on the right side of history, @thetimmcgraw!" Another fan said, "Thanks for speaking out - a new fan. And happy birthday to your wife." One more fan commented, "Wonderful to see a real man support woman’s rights; stand by his wife and raise girls with strength!! Bravo Tim!!!"
