Country Living reports the two continued to make time for each other over the subsequent years, as friends, before things inevitably turned romantic. "I knew intuitively that she could be trusted with my heart and my life," Black revealed. Just ten months and 20 days after that initial meeting, on Oct. 20, 1991, the couple got married on Black's 180-acre Texas farm. 25 years later, in 2016, the couple credited their unbreakable bond with keeping both of their impressive careers afloat, too.

Black advises his lyrics are often inspired by his wife, admitting, "When we got married, my capacity to feel deepened. Our marriage, who we are together, guides me." They've collaborated on songs several times and have also appeared in movies together. Since daughter Lily came along, the actress's career has taken a backseat, so the couple jump at the chance to work together. "Get us together and we're enjoying life," Black explained simply.
