David Nail recently celebrated his fifth wedding anniversary with wife Catherine, and she’s been more of an inspiration to him these days than ever before. His struggles with depression have been well-documented, and the support he received from his wife has received its fair share of press, as well. However, David says that their relationship has grown stronger and the love he feels for her goes even deeper than before.

“I’ve definitely gone through some phases in my life where I wasn’t, not only an easy person to love, but just an easy person to be around, and she’s been a trooper,” says David. “She definitely has some opportunities where she could’ve bit the bullet and ran, but she chose to kind of stick around. And I think that when you kind of come out of those bad times and you look to your side and you see that person stuck beside you, it creates a whole new respect for ‘em, a whole new love.”

David is currently making his way up the country charts with his latest single, “Kiss You Tonight.” He’ll perform the song when he hits the stage in Nebraska on Friday with Lady Antebellum.

“You know, I got married a little late. I was 30, and I grew up in a small town and most people graduate high school and off to college, and you meet somebody in college and you get married and you come back and you start having kids. I’ve been a late bloomer. She is a fantastic lady. I’ve definitely gone through some phases in my life where I wasn’t, not only an easy person to love, but just an easy person to be around, and she’s been a trooper. She definitely has some opportunities where she could’ve bit the bullet and ran, but she chose to kind of stick around. And I think that when you kind of come out of those bad times and you look to your side and you see that person stuck beside you, it creates a whole new respect for ‘em, a whole new love.”
