Thomas Rhett reflects on the struggles of marriage: 'This is not perfect'
foxnews.comThomas Rhett wants fans to know his marriage isn't perfect. The country music star opened up about how he doesn't think his marriage is always "relationship goals" in a recent interview with The Associated Press. "Along the way people would say her and I were ‘relationship goals’ or ‘your love is like rainbows and butterflies,' and I'm sitting there going, ‘It is sometimes, but it’s also not a lot,'" Rhett told The Associated Press. "On this record, when you listen to songs like ‘The Hill’ and ‘Angels,’ like those are types of songs that I'm trying to find a different way to say, ‘This is not perfect,'" he continued.
Rhett emphasized that the relationship he has with wife Lauren Akins is not "unattainable" but requires some "work." "Please don't look at our relationship like it is something that is like unattainable because it completely is," Rhett said. "It just takes work.Those songs portray the work we put in.
As challenging as it may be to like uphold that like ‘we're perfect couple,' I think over the last couple years just embraced that we're just not." "Being able to speak openly about the issues we've had in our marriage, how hard parenting is and trying to relate to other parents and married couples out there.That's been very life-giving for us for sure." Rhett and Akins tied the knot in 2012 and share four children.
