Tim McGraw and Faith Hill seem to have found the secret to long-lasting love, but that doesn't quite mean either of the singers is ready for their three daughters to rush into dating.

Gushing about his wife, the 47-year-old father of Gracie, 17, Maggie, 15, and Audrey, 12, recently explained to E! News, "I think, for us, being as normal as possible and raising our family and being in a family situation as much as possible...Certainly it's different because of what we both do, but we try to keep it as much of a family environment that we can...For us, we leave the front doors when we go to work, but when we're home, we don't talk about none of the music that much…It's a whole different world."

Taking the sweetness up one notch further, Tim McGraw added while choking up just a bit, "It amazes me every night, every chance that I get to sing with her. I think about the fact that we're married and the fact that we raised these three beautiful daughters. And then I think about having three daughters and having her for their mom. It's a pretty cool thing for those girls to have her."

Speaking of those girls, the country crooner also revealed to Extra TV he accidentally gave one of his daughter's young suitors quite the scare recently.

"I had a white apron on, and I was trimming fat off of this meat. I got this knife with me and this apron with blood all over, and the doorbell rang, and I go to the door and open it with a knife and a bloody apron," he explained. "It's the kid who shows up, so it worked out pretty good even though I didn't mean for it to."

It can't be easy to walk up to a megastar's home and knock on the door to pick up a date!

Thankfully, my parents never tried any of the 'polishing my shotgun' schtick. Although they weren't entirely thrilled about me going on dates, they had the tact to at least pretend to be OK with it.

My husband, however, tells a tale about the time his father asked him and his date if they needed "protection" and then proceeded to offer over a pocket knife. Groan, right? Ha.
