Country music superstar Miranda Lambert is known for her powerhouse vocals, her relatable anthems about love and heartbreak, and her unapologetically authentic personality. But lately, it's her whirlwind romance and rock-solid marriage to former police officer Brendan McLoughlin that has everyone talking.

What's their secret to marital bliss in a world full of Nashville divorces? According to Lambert, it all boils down to one simple rule: Communication.
Sitting down with PEOPLE at the Lone River Collective event, the "If I Was a Cowboy" singer didn't shy away from sharing the key ingredient in her love story: "It's communication. We just talk it out, whatever it is, we talk about everything."

She went on to emphasize a point we can all relate to: "And I think communication is super important, especially because women, we expect men to know what we're thinking and they don't.

Spoken like a true queen of real talk! Lambert, who married McLoughlin in a secret ceremony in 2019, has clearly learned a thing or two about love and relationships.
