Whether you live in the spotlight or not, you know that being in a long-term committed relationship can be challenging at times. And no one knows this better than the celebrity couples who are often harassed by paparazzi and followed by millions of fans.
Still, many of them prove that the true love we see on screen is possible in real life and they are willing to share their secrets with us. We collect relationship advice from famous couples who know how to keep the flame alive.
Neil Patrick Harris And David Burtka
The How I Met Your Mother star and his husband, actor David Burtka, believe that dialogue is the key to a lasting marriage. “In our relationship, communication is very important.
Our good friends said, ‘You need to talk,’ and if that means raising your voice, you must raise your voice. Know where you are, rather than letting things pile up, I guess, ”he said.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z
The “Irreplaceable” singer is convinced that putting yourself first is essential when it comes to relationships. “I was independent before I met my husband and we have a natural chemistry and a genuine relationship, and it’s based on what relationships should be based on,” she said.
“I saw growing up when a woman or a man in a relationship, no matter which one, doesn’t feel safe, they feel a little stuck. Your self-esteem is determined by you. You don’t need to depend on someone to tell you who you are,” she added.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
Timberlake and Biel are one of Hollywood’s most beloved celebrity couples, and the secret to their long-standing relationship is simple: never stop dating. “That’s always my rule, even when you get married, you have to keep dating … It’s just the difference that arises when you have kids that you really have to schedule the date.
So when you say you’re going out at 6:30 p.m., you need to go out at 6:30 p.m.,” Timberlake said.
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard
The award-winning actress admitted that having a relationship with her husband was not always easy for her. “We used to fight because we used to fight a lot, and I’d yell something, close the bedroom door, shut the front door, then get in my car and then skate out of the garage and then sit in the corner of my car.
And it felt so good, and I realized how incredibly toxic it was right after he pointed it out, ”she revealed. Bell said it took her a while to realize she needed to work on herself:“ Know that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have. So get a bigger emotional toolbox to solve your problems. “
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz
The Grammy winner believes that one of the most important things in a wedding is keeping the flame alive. “[Swizz and I] like to surprise each other and go on secret dates on the weekends.
One of us plans and the other has no idea where we are going. We find some jewels to discover and moments to walk or simply discover new things about life and about others. Those are my favorite moments,” she shared.
Jessie James and Eric Decker
The “I’ll Chase The Sky” singer says she’s “madly in love” with her husband and admits that flirting with each other keeps the romance afloat. “I think women sometimes stop flirting with their husbands and you can’t.
Men want to feel good, they want to feel that their women love them. When they get home from work, don’t start pestering them with questions. Go up to them, give them a big kiss and ask them how the day was,” she said.
