In a recent interview with Ladies Home Journal, Country Music cutie Joe Nichols talked marriage, baseball and his latest single, "The Shape I'm In."

The singer spoke frankly about his marriage and his wife, Heather Singleton. "She's a very strong woman. She's tough as nails," said Nichols, who credits Singleton with helping him through substance abuse treatment. "I've seen her take a very impossible situation — me — and work with it. She's actually tough enough to look me in the face and say, 'No, you're not going to get away with that.' So intestinal fortitude — she's got a lot of it. And I think a lot of my success, especially my latter success, is because of her."

Nichols also discussed his love for the Cardinals and some fantastic fans that once sent him a brick from the stadium, "I grew up a Cardinal fan and my fans knew that. When they were building the brand new Busch stadium, these fans bought me a brick and had it inscribed and dedicated to my dad."

As for his new single, "The Shape I'm In," Nichols hopes it will be as successful as last year's "Gimme That Girl." The Country Music singer commented that there was always pressure to follow up a hit single with another. "…what my gut is telling me about 'The Shape I'm In' as a follow-up is that it's written by the same writers and it feels like a good song. I listen to it and I think, man, I would like this. I would like this on the radio."
