Dan Rather doesn\u2019t mess around. <\/p>\n

In his new The Big Interview<\/em>, he sat down with Little Big Town, and he got right to the point. What\u2019s it like to have a married couple in the band? How do they balanced their personal and professional lives?<\/p>\n

And the group\u2019s Jimi Westbrook and Karen Fairchild \u2014 married since 2006 \u2014 talked openly about how it takes work, but that\u2019s part of what makes it work. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a challenge. We were in the band for seven years before we were every in a relationship together,\u201d Westbrook said. The band officially formed in 1998. \u201cAs we approached (this), we were like, \u2019Are we really gonna do this?\u2019 There\u2019s a lot of layers to that when your in a band together. It was important for us to not make them feel like it was ever a couple against them. You don\u2019t want that dynamic to change. You have to think about all those things. The thing that we figured out is that we still function in the band like we always have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still the ones who butt heads,\u201d he laughed. <\/p>\n

You can almost see the sparks flying in their first big hit, \u201cBoondocks,\u201d released about a year before their wedding.<\/p>\n
