Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s Marriage
McGraw and Hill got married on October 6, 1996. For McGraw, being a good husband will always be a work in progress.
“I am not an expert,” McGraw tells his record label. “I don’t think anybody is. Marriage is — any relationship’s tough if you don’t cultivate it, 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, all those things are gonna happen.
“I think that it’s knowing those things are gonna be there,” he adds. “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 is the important thing.”
Although Hill has largely retired from the music industry, McGraw still relies on Hill for all aspects of his own career.
“Faith is invaluable to me in every way,” McGraw tells The Tennessean. “But creatively, I trust her ears 100 percent. She still hears rough mixes of everything I record before anyone else does. And she’s a tough judge to please. She hasn’t liked even some of my hits when she heard them the first time. The beauty of all of this is that we love each other, trust each other’s instincts and glean everything we can out of each other to make our projects better.”
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s Three Daughters
McGraw and Hill are proud parents of three grown daughters: Gracie, Maggie and Audrey. Both McGraw and Hill have been vocal about their support of their daughters, who are all pursuing their passions.
“Anybody that’s a parent knows that if you get 30 percent of it right, you’re doing well,” McGraw maintains. “You make way more mistakes than you do right. But being a girl dad and raising young women, Faith and I have always wanted them to realize they have control of their life. They have agency over themselves. They have the right to do what they want to do with their lives and can chase anything that they want and dream as big as they want to dream, and don’t let anybody hold you back.
“Now that can come back and bite you down the road a little bit,” he adds, “because we’ve raised three really strong, intelligent young women and we’re really proud of that.”
