Blake Shelton is a "couple of years away" from starting a family with wife Miranda Lambert.

The country singers will celebrate their one-year anniversary this May but Blake says that they are just enjoying life as newlyweds for now.

He told People magazine that they are not ready to have a baby just yet.

"We just spent a week together in Oklahoma and we actually talked about that," the 35-year-old revealed.

"I think we both agreed that we're a couple of years away from seriously talking about that.

"There is a lot [career wise] that is happening right now and it only happens once. We want to enjoy this and be able to focus on our careers so when it is time we'll be ready to sit around and watch that happen."

But The Voice coach believes that Miranda, 28, will be an excellent mother when the time comes.

"If she's anything with an actual human being like she is with the dogs, the kid's going to be golden," he gushed.

"It's just so easy with her; we have so much fun being natural. We are more concerned with how to protect what's going on now than things we need to change."
