Dec 21, 2019

As we live in an age of dating sites, hook-ups and "complicated" relationship statuses, it's particularly refreshing to hear about couples really going the distance! 

George Strait may have an amazing country music career, but nothing compares to the love story he has with his wife of 48 years, Norma Strait. The pair have known each other for almost their entire lives. The loved-up couple eloped to Mexico in 1971, and just celebrated with close family and friends in Texas on return. 

In an interview with People magazine back in 2012, he revealed the secret to wedded bliss is simple,  “We do almost everything together. She stayed home until Bubba (their son) got out of high school and went to college, but since then she’s come on the road with me too. We love each other and we still like each other. A lot!”

In testament to his devotion, along with professional models and dancers in his latest music video "Codigo", George cast Norma. The video, shows her smiling and serving up drinks. Congratulations George and Norma - your relationship has certainly stood the test of time.
