She married Buddy Miller in 1981. They sing and play on each other's solo projects and have recorded several duet albums.

In 1987 Julie contributed background vocals to the song "Remember Me" on Benny Hester's album Through the Window. In 1992, Julie provided the title track for Cry of the Heart: Emily's Eyes, an album released to bring hope to victims of child abuse. Julie mentioned after a 2002 concert in Kentucky that the song "Emily's Eyes" had one line edited out of it, as there was concern regarding the "implications". No further details were provided. In 1994, Julie and Buddy Miller recorded Mark Heard's "Orphans of God" which was the title track for the single CD Mark Heard Tribute album Strong Hand of Love. They also assisted Victoria Williams on her version of "What Kind of Friend". Later that same year, both songs were included on the two-CD Mark Heard Tribute Orphans of God, with the song "What kind of Friend" expanded by nearly a full minute. In 2022 Miller contributed a rendition of "That's Why We Don't Love God" to the Randy Stonehill tribute album, "There's a Rainbow Somewhere." Julie's composition, "By Way of Sorrow," was an inspiration for the tone of Cameron Crowe's movie Vanilla Sky but the song was not featured in the film.

Many artists have recorded songs composed by Julie Miller, and Julie and Buddy. See the list of songs written by Buddy and Julie Miller for an extensive list. After the 1998 Omagh bombing in Northern Ireland, local singer Juliet Turner performed a version of Miller's song "Broken Things" at a memorial service for the victims of the bombing.

Julie and Buddy Miller teamed up with Victoria Williams, Mark Olson, and Jim Lauderdale for a European tour billed as "The Rolling Creek Dippers" in the 90s.

Julie has been married to Buddy Miller since 1981. They met in 1976 in Austin when Buddy auditioned for and played in a band with her. They live in Nashville, where Buddy has set up a home studio on the main floor for music recording and production. She has battled the effects of fibromyalgia, mood swings, and depression.
