Trisha Yearwood’s advice for a long-lasting marriage | Music City Minute

Nov 11, 2025, 1:12 PM

This week, Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks are celebrating 20 years of marriage (which in the entertainment industry is more like 100 years). While speaking at an event, Miss Trisha admits being present is one of the most important foundations of a relationship. Drawing from her personal experience, Yearwood declared marriage isn’t going to work if the couple are never together. That is why she made the bold decision to step back from the spotlight for a quieter life in Oklahoma with her husband and three girls. On a side note, that life change was good for Mama T. The “Georgia Rain” singer was able to focus on new opportunities showcasing her talents in the kitchen, resulting in numerous bestselling cookbooks and a popular daytime TV show.  Now 20 years into family and marriage, there is no sign of slowing down. As a matter of fact, Yearwood and her husband have been able to focus more on what brought them together initially – music. Along with recording several duets together, both have released new solo projects and launched several full-scale tours.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
