After nearly five years together, Blake Shelton finally is warming to the idea of marrying Miranda Lambert. Blake tells The Boot they’ve had their good years, their bad years and their really bad years. But, Blake says right now the two of them “have a stronger relationship” than they’ve ever had.

In fact, he says it’s even stronger and better than “in the early times when it was new and exciting.” He says their relationship now is “exciting” to him. So, he says probably for the first time he can realistically say, he can see them being together forever and can see them “getting married one day, maybe.”
