Tim McGraw posted a touching tribute to his wife of 24 years, Faith Hill, on their recent anniversary. The Louisiana native shared several photos of the couple throughout their relationship, backed by “Hard to Stay Mad At.” The song, written by Luke Laird, Shane McAnally and Lori McKenna, appears on Tim’s recent Here on Earth album.
“24 yrs…….These years have rushed by in a series of beautiful, painful and unexpected moments….” Tim wrote. “We have loved, laughed and cried through exciting, inspiring and heartbreaking events in our lives together. U have been a role model for 3 remarkable young women who have made me a better man than I ever thought I could be…..The future will surely hold more of all of these things. It only matters if I’m with you.
“It only works if I’m with you,” he continued. “My oxygen only exists if you’re by my side. Forever and always living and loving our way through anything.”

The couple met while Faith was opening for Tim on his Spontaneous Combustion Tour in 1996, tying the knot by the end of the year. After almost two-and-a-half decades together, Tim is still just as smitten with Faith as he was in the beginning of their relationship, and maybe more.
“The older she gets, the better looking she gets, the smarter she gets, the dumber I get,” Tim joked on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, speaking of his wife’s 53rd birthday on September 23. “I’ve done really well. This birthday has been a milestone, I think for us, just because of all that’s going on, and our kids moving out, our youngest daughter moving out. We’re going to be empty nesters here coming up. She’s stuck with me now.”
