Luke Bryan’s wife Caroline has a full schedule with two young kids at home and a teenager as well as keeping up with her famous husband’s career.

As Caroline shared on a recent podcast, her advice to the kids is all about treating others with kindness, “There are a couple of things I tell my kids every day. I tell them to always go and make a person smile every day. Be nice and go make a person smile.”

For a family that has had their share of tragedies, including the deaths of their brother-in-law and their niece, Caroline instills faith in each child. She says, “Some of the best advice I ever got was that it's not our job to understand why God does what He does. It's our job to accept it and make the best out of it. That’s just what you have to do.”

Caroline worked with Luke to create Brett’s Barn in remembrance of their niece who died back in 2017. She said, “Someday we will understand everything, but He’s not going to let us understand everything right now in this life."

She continued, “So just take what He gives you, as hard as it is. And sometimes it's great, and sometimes it sucks so bad—but you gotta take it and make the best out of it.”
