00:27 We're not perfect, just forgiven.

00:30 Not perfect, just forgiven, yeah.

00:33 Yeah, this duo's been going strong

00:35 for nearly three decades.

00:37 Y'all still flirt and love like newlyweds.

00:40 I know, I know, it's pretty cool.

00:42 I mean, you know, we laugh about it

00:45 when all the kids first move out of the house.

00:46 When the last, our youngest daughter left,

00:49 we were like, what are we gonna do with ourselves?

00:51 We were scared the wife was gonna go out of the house.

00:53 And after about six months, we were kinda like,

00:55 you know, we kinda like this.

00:56 You know, crank the music up,

00:58 light the candles, dance, have fun, enjoy ourselves.

01:01 Is that how you're gonna celebrate

01:03 the 27th wedding anniversary too, coming up?

01:05 Yeah, well, I think I got bigger plans for that.

01:07 Ooh!

01:08 Tim and Faith first met in 1994

01:10 at a Nashville event for New Country Artists.

01:13 A year after, they each released their debut albums.

01:17 ♪ I'm still walking down memory lane ♪

01:19 ♪ 'Cause I know I'll be running in the future ♪

01:23 Our first album went wood.

01:24 It started off at the bottom and fell real fast.

01:26 ♪ Take me as I am ♪

01:29 It says it right there in the title, you know,

01:34 take me for who I am, you know, no frills, no lace.

01:38 Basically, what you see is what you get.

01:41 At the time, they were both in other relationships,

01:43 but connected two years later

01:45 when Faith joined Tim on his Spontaneous Combustion Tour.

01:48 When we first got together, my career was going great,

01:53 but I was kind of a loose cannon.

01:54 And who knows where I'd be right now if it wasn't for her.

01:57 If y'all hadn't found each other,

01:58 do you think anything would be any different?

02:00 I'd be dead.

02:01 My life didn't start 'til eight years ago.

02:04 Aw. Yeah.

02:04 Me too.

02:06 Aw, man.

02:08 Tim popped the question that June.

02:11 We were somewhere playing this big outdoor festival,

02:14 and they had these trailer houses set up,

02:16 and I said, "Look, let's get married."

02:19 She goes, "Are you serious?"

02:20 I said, "Well, yeah, I'm serious."

02:22 And then they called me and I had to go to stage.

02:23 I went to stage and did the show,

02:25 and then I came off the stage

02:27 and went back into my dressing room,

02:28 and Faith wasn't there,

02:29 but I looked at the mirror in lipstick and said,

02:32 "Yes, I'm gonna be your wife."

02:35 And we still have that mirror.

02:37 And it was the best day of my life, that's for sure.

02:42 And the couple said, "I do," in October 1996.

02:45 We got married in my aunt's backyard in Rayville, Louisiana.

02:49 She was barefoot and we were under an old locust tree.

02:51 Yeah, it was awesome.

02:53 And one year later, released their very first duet.

02:56 ♪ It's your love ♪

02:59 ♪ It just does something to me ♪

03:02 ♪ It sends a shock right through me ♪

03:05 What do you remember about that song?

03:08 Oh, I was so pregnant.

03:10 ♪ And if you wonder ♪

03:12 ♪ About the spell I'm under ♪

03:17 ♪ It's your love ♪

03:22 I mean, yes, wow, it was special.

03:26 What I remember specifically is

03:28 Faith was craving milkshakes

03:30 when we were shooting the video.

03:31 I craved a lot, but the milkshake I needed at that moment.

03:34 She had a milkshake when we were shooting the video,

03:37 and she had, what do you call that,

03:38 that dress, it was silk or something?

03:40 It's silk.

03:41 It was silk, yeah.

03:42 And so if you look really closely in a few shots,

03:45 you'll see a milkshake stain.

03:46 No, they took that out, babe.

03:48 Tim and Faith's eldest daughter, Grace,

03:50 was born a few months later,

03:52 and Maggie came along the year after.

03:54 I love that plunging neckline, it's very dangerous.

03:56 I don't have it very often,

03:58 so we're expecting our second child,

04:00 so if I got it, I'm gonna show it off.

04:01 Gracie, this is Mommy and Daddy,

04:04 and you are our world.

04:05 Happy birthday, honey, we love you.

04:07 And Maggie, Maggie, you should be asleep by now.

04:09 That's right, Maggie.

04:10 We love you, Maggie.

04:11 And Audrey, three years later.

04:13 ♪ The jokes of the day ♪

04:20 Audrey has actually got a singer career going herself.

04:22 I know, Gracie's a great singer,

04:25 they're all three can sing.

04:26 I just want them to be happy

04:28 and do what they love, to be honest.

04:30 The country stars embarked

04:31 on their first official tour together in 2000.

04:34 ♪ I need you ♪

04:38 ♪ Oh, I need you ♪

04:41 The memories that we have together

04:45 touring the country as a family,

04:47 for any family, those are wonderful memories.

04:50 And in 2012, their Soul to Soul show

04:52 nabbed a Las Vegas residency.

04:55 ♪ 'Cause that's how you talk to a woman ♪

04:58 How do you like performing together?

05:00 First off, she doesn't perform a whole lot anyway,

05:02 and certainly performing together,

05:03 we don't get to do very often.

05:04 So to stand on the side of the stage

05:06 and get to see her sing,

05:07 and anybody that gets to come to the show

05:09 and gets to see her sing, it's a rare treat.

05:11 Aw.

05:12 To get to perform.

05:12 It's incredible to watch,

05:14 and to be able to sit there

05:16 and look goo-goo-eyed at one another.

05:18 Doesn't get old, it's fun for us.

05:20 We don't get to do it that often.

05:21 But throughout their careers,

05:23 family always came first.

05:25 Everybody sees the work part,

05:27 but you know, gosh, 80% of our life

05:29 is home with kids,

05:31 and going to high school football games,

05:33 and parent-teacher meetings,

05:35 and sitting in hookup line,

05:36 and all that kind of stuff.

05:38 That's our real life.

05:39 This is sort of just the part that everybody sees.

05:42 ♪ Even when time takes its toll ♪

05:45 ♪ I'll stay on for the rest of my life ♪

05:49 So Mother's Day is tomorrow, Faith.

05:51 Now what do you expect from,

05:52 is it like I'm queen for a day?

05:54 What happens in your family?

05:56 I'm queen every day.

05:57 I'm queen.

05:58 (laughing)

05:59 Girlfriend, it's her world, I'm just living it.

06:02 I gotta train these kids right.

06:04 I can't imagine it being any other way.

06:06 A life without her,

06:08 and without what we've created together

06:09 with our three daughters.

06:10 That's our best creation.

06:11 Those three girls are,

06:13 they're the life of the party every time they're around.
