UPDATE 30 May 2009 22:47: Doubletrouble, in a comment, leaves a
link that is worth your time before you read this post. I haven't verified the information at the link, but if it's true, it's disturbing. Paisley is a funny and talented songwriter and performer, and I hope it's not true - and it would certainly change my opinion of him if it were.
END UPDATE
UPDATE 31 May 2009 09:31: Sailor Curt does some more investigation, and thinks that there's more to this story, in the Paisley's favor. Details in the comments.
END UPDATE
While I'm no expert, I also don't think that there's a big secret to marriage:
if you like each other she'll forgive your sorry butt, when you least deserve it but need it the most.
Part of this is making sure that you're friends before you pop the question. Part, though, if continually remembering why you like her.
Brad Paisley captures this perfectly in Little Moments. It's funny, but it also hits very close to home on the little things that remind you that not only do you love her, you really like her.

Doubletrouble, no, I hadn't.
I couldn't verify this, but put an update at the head of the post. People can decide for themselves.
If you read the comments thread to a follow up post to the one that doubletrouble linked, you'll see a couple of comment exchanges with people who raised some valid concerns with the story as presented.
Those concerns were met with derision, condescension, name calling and accusations of sock puppetry rather than simply addressing the concerns.
Based upon that comment thread and a personal e-mail exchange with the authors of the blog, I don't find them credible.
They come across as petty, vindictive people who don't deal well with not getting their way (or even being questioned at all). It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that their version of the story has been...um...massaged...to cast them in the best light possible and to unfairly paint the Paisley camp as unreasonable. I personally take this story with a large grain of salt and will do so unless confirmed by independent sources.
Hokey Smokes Ted- I didn’t want to start a Shiite storm!
I’ve no feelings for Mr. Paisley one way or another; I just saw a link to that info whilst surfing last night. I had no perception for the veracity of the statements; I just thought since the subject came up…
THAT’LL learn me…
Doubletrouble: I think you were right to point it out.
And I re-iterate that I'm not saying it's definitely not true. I'm not debunking anything...I'm just saying that the story itself and the demeanor of the people who reported the story just struck me as less than credible and I'm not buying it until I see some independent verification.
