That's What She Said: Love Advice from Celebrities
Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith
This Hollywood power couple have been together for 16 years and married for nearly 14. Jada says one of the keys to a successful marriage is keeping things spicy and spontaneous:
Jada Pinkett-Smith: “Pack a lunch and go to the park. Even a drive — and then pull over on the side of the road! Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex. Does he have access to his office? Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary! Be sneaky. Your girlfriend’s house at a party. The bathroom! A guest bedroom! Just switch it up. Anything like that can keep it going. Anything it takes to keep the flame alive.” -”Redbook”
Camille Cosby and Bill Cosby
The Cosby’s have had great success, but have also weathered many storms over the years including the senseless murder of their son Ennis. Still, this Hollywood couple has managed to keep their marriage together for 47 years. Camille says that it’s important to respect each partner’s individuality:
Camille Cosby: …Because you are two different people, and you have to respect that. You have to learn not to project your stuff onto the other person. You have to give the other person space to do what he or she wants to do, to not be threatened by his or her absence or achievements. -”Oprah Magazine”
First Lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama
Could we possibly talk about marriage without mentioning our gorgeous First couple? They have a beautiful family, but Michelle and Barack have both admitted that they’ve had ups and downs in their nearly 19 year marriage. However, their union has been made stronger because of the tough times. Michelle says that it’s important for a woman to learn that she must make herself a priority:
Michelle Obama:“I have freed myself to put me on the priority list and say, yes, I can make choices that make me happy, and it will ripple and benefit my kids, my husband, and my physical health. That’s hard for women to own; we’re not taught to do that. It’s a lesson that I want to teach my girls so they don’t wait for their “aha” moment until they’re in their 30s like I was (laughs). Maybe they can experience it a little earlier.” -Prevention.com
Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham

Michelle Pfeiffer and David E. Kelly
This award-winning actress and hugely successful producer have been married for 18 years. Michelle says the key to success in love is to keep dating each other:
Michelle Pfeiffer: “We tend to our marriage. You have to spend time away from the kids and stay up late and talk, go to the movies or do the crossword puzzle together. My husband and I still have date nights, and I look forward to them all week.”
