Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambert Strained Marriage Rumors, Drinking & Partying Pulling Country Stars Apart

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are at the height of their professional careers. Shelton has never been more popular as the likable, three time winning coach of "The Voice" and his song "Boys Round Here" topping the country charts. 

Lambert also seems to come away with multiple wins at every music awards show on television this year, most recently bringing home 2 CMT Awards for "Female Video of the Year" ("Mama's Broken Heart") and "CMT Performance of the Year" ("Over You"). 

Unfortunately, the married couple has one thing in common that brings them together and also causes them strain, partying. 

Neither is shy about their drinking with the public, especially on social media. I personally follow Blake on twitter and am a big fan of him on "The Voice", but he does like to push the envelope and get reactions out of people. He is a good natured, funny guy, so that is only going to escalate when he has been drinking. 

Lambert speaks about drinking frequently too, whether it is during an acceptance speech or on social media as well. Lambert is part of the popular group, The Pistol Annie's, which show off a more rebellious side. 

The couple seems to bond and surely have many good times partying together, but it can also spark jealousy and drive a wedge in the relationship because clearly they are both drinking when they are away from each other as well. 

It does not help the situation that Shelton left his first wife to be with Lambert, so I'm sure deep in the back of Miranda's mind she has the fear that if she did it for her, he could also do it to her. 

"Though partying is something Miranda and Blake bond over, friends say it's only served to amplify Miranda's jealousy and Blake's uncontrollable flirting - leading to a vicious cycle of drinking, fighting and drinking more as a means to cope," a source reportedly told Intouchweekly

"Alcohol is the root of 90 percent of their problems," the source said. "Blake likes to provoke Miranda when he's drunk - he talks constantly about other women he thinks are sexy."

Their busy schedules don't make things any easier as they often spend large amounts of time away from each other which makes it harder to work things out and keep things close when they are good. 

Let's hope that they can work through their partying days and get them behind them, which would surely help their marriage in the long run. Everyone is pulling for them.
