How often do high school sweethearts last? In the case of George and Norma Strait, once is good enough. The pair married in 1971 and have survived Strait’s record-shattering country career. Along with the highest highs, George and Norma have survived some of the lowest lows, like losing their child Jennifer in a car crash when she was only 13. Theirs is a marriage built on understanding, kindness and leaving any egos at the door.
