It's not uncommon for someone to appreciate their significant other, but country star Tim McGraw believes if it weren't for his wife, Faith Hill, he might not be alive today.
"Faith has kept me alive," Tim told PEOPLE. "She's saved my life in a lot of different ways -- from myself more than anything. She's loved me through times when I didn't love me. I can go down a dark road sometimes, when you're not feeling good about yourself -- and she pulls me out."
Tim and Faith have been happily married for 13 years, and they have three daughters, 12-year-old Gracie, 11-year-old Maggie, and seven-year-old Maggie. Tim didn't hesitate when he said if it weren't for his wife, "I'd be dead. Oh yeah, I would have partied too hard. I might have caught myself somewhere along the way and put the brakes on. I don't know if I would have gone [to rehab]; don't think I could have been talked into that during those times."
Three things have helped keep Tim on the straight and narrow; his three daughters who are nearing their teen years. "I'm probably more the disciplinarian. I do try to be tough, not mean, just firm. You have to be; it's just scary with girls. There's so much that could go wrong. But they're really good kids."
While he loves the kids he has now, Tim revealed that three may be enough, though they'd thought about having more. "We talked about it once. We even have names for boys. I would love to have a boy also, but if we start again now, we're going to be old when they're gone. We started out wanting five [kids], and life just ... got busy."
Speaking of being busy, Tim has been hard at work with his newly released album 'Southern Voice,' as well as his role alongside Sandra Bullock in the movie 'The Blind Side.'
