Country music star Luke Bryan has been married to his wife Caroline for fourteen years. In a new interview, Bryan opened up about how they’ve lasted this long, and about why quarantine has actually made their marriage stronger.
“Obviously quarantine has certainly put its share of new things to navigate,” Bryan told People Magazine. “Caroline and I are used to spending quite a bit of time apart, and now I’m just here every day. But the main thing with us is properly inserting alcohol in parts of the relationship — it does a really, really good job for us. I’m playing!”
Getting serious, Bryan added, “It’s all about communication and giving each other time to go do the things that we’re passionate about. But the communication is so critical. When you get your wires crossed … I know it sounds cliché, but never go to bed mad. You really have to abide by that stuff.”
For Bryan, learning to let the little things go has been a major thing in his. life.
“Sitting and letting something small turn into a big event is not how you make it,” he said. “[Once you] have a family, you’re doing this with your family – it’s a lot. But you’ve walked down the aisle and you’ve said in front of God, ‘This is who I’m going to be with forever.’ You have to work so hard at it.”
“It never gets easier, but when you can share a wonderful life together, it makes it all worth it,” Bryan confessed. “We have a great time too — whether we’re Mom or Dad, or we’re able to go somewhere by ourselves — we’re really, really still so blessed that we’ve been able to navigate all this and my career, and then have a great marriage through it all.”
Bryan took to Instagram back in December to celebrate his fourteenth anniversary.
“Happy 14th anniversary my love,” he wrote. “What a ride it has been. I love you so much. We be looking young in this one. I love you @linabryan3.”
