If he doesn’t win an Oscar on Sunday it will be a crime. Colin Firth’s performance in “The King’s Speech” was outst-st-st-anding. But the best role he has played is as a husband and father. He has been married 15 years and has two sons. Having become a heart-throb after emerging from a lake, dripping wet in Pride & Prejudice 16 years ago there have been many admirers!
The secret of the longevity of his marriage in an industry known for a high failure rate of marriages, is his devotion to his wife and family. “You just have to navigate things on a daily basis. We are crazy about each other. But the real secret is time – we have to make sure we spend enough time together. Every relationship in life, you’re going to have to take care of it. There is a marathon factor to it.”
The happiest marriages are based on a deep friendship. This is the single most important ingredient. Making and taking the time to foster and deepen that friendship will bring richness to a marriage and enable any couple to navigate whatever comes at them in the normal course of life. Friendship fuels the flames of romance. It’s a daily thing.
Eat together. Talk together. Play together.
