Martina McBride is gearing up to sing in New York at the winning couple, Nick & Leigh, who won their dream wedding by the TODAY show, on July 15.  As she prepares for the show, TODAY asked her to write a blog about her thoughts on marriage, which she did and posted on msnbc's website.

Martina says when asked about her secret to staying married for 21 years, she either says she made a good choice, or she just got lucky.  She goes on to say, "I married a man who is a great partner. He is thoughtful, kind, considerate, romantic, handsome and really funny. We love each other's company, our personalities complement each other and we respect each other. He thinks I'm smart and funny and I think the same about him. We are a great team. "

Although she does think the world of her husband, John, she does say that they both have flaws, "He leaves his socks and T-shirts on the floor by the bed. I am always late. He likes to have the radio on loud in the car while he's talking on the cell phone (that drives me crazy). I don't put the cap back on the toothpaste."  But at the end of the day, they both know that they are thankful for each other and are always happy to be around one another. 

She ends the blog with a feeling of being blessed, as she says, "Yes, I chose well. Or maybe I just got lucky. Or maybe it has nothing to do with choices or luck. Maybe a love like this is just simply a blessing. I know that's how I feel: blessed."
