(AP) - Trisha Yearwood keeps getting asked what it's like to tour with her husband. Her reply is it's keeping their marriage together.

Yearwood says she and Garth Brooks agreed that they didn't want to be married if they were going to be apart a lot, so they accept projects based on whether they can be together for them. She says it's great to spend two hours on stage doing what she loves, then spend the remaining time with the love of her life.

Yearwood says their next project is to do the duets album they've been talking about for 15 years. She says it will probably be a Christmas album.
