Even with such busy schedules, spending time together is important when it comes to keeping a relationship alive and happy. These 5 star couples agree with this, and make sure they set time aside to be together as a couple without work in the way. Some like to take a trip together and make it special when they finally get to be around each other, while others simple go for a drive alone or have a date night in order to keep things normal and happy in between their busy work lives.
Colin Firth & Livia Giuggioli
Colin Firth believes spending time together in the key to a healthy marriage: “You know, we’ve made it 15 years together. I think that’s pretty good going, by Hollywood standards. And it’s going to go on forever. You just you navigate things on a daily basis. We are crazy about each other. We’re very committed on a daily basis to how we deal with our family lives. But the real secret is time – we have to make sure that we spend enough time together. Every relationship in life you’re going to have to take care of, there’s a marathon factor to it.”
Pink & Carey Hart
Hart comments that because they both travel they make sure to make their time together special: “It’s pretty tough because we both travel… but no matter what I’ve got going on I always try to find a week out of the month to go see her. Random hotels don’t hurt. That always keeps it fun. We are kind of boring and kind of wild. Or we’ll go camping and get drunk and get rowdy.”
Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom
Khloe reveals that its easy for a couple to drift apart so she makes sure they see each other enough: ”Without two people trying, there is no marriage. With our busy schedules we have to make time for each other. Once you forget to do the little things, it’s easy to grow apart.”
Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prinze Jr.
Sarah says after the kids are asleep she makes sure to spent some quality time with husband Freddie Prinze Jr.: “Like in any other relationship, you have to remember who you are through all this. After she goes to bed at 7.30, I might take a bath or read. And Freddie and I get our time together, too. Relationships are like flowers: They need attention to grow and develop. You have to make time to be there for the other person.”
David & Victoria Beckham
David says he loves to go on dates with wife Victoria: “We always make time for each other. We have date nights, of course. I think that’s important. We like going for a drive in the car – that’s our date sometimes – it’s what we always used to do when we lived in Manchester and spent weekends in London, we’d drive down together then just sit in a park and chat, that’s something we still do now. We make time for each other.”
