It’s like our marriage was the most difficult, grueling, excruciating thing that we have ever taken on in our lives. And you know we're just not quitters.”
9. Kristen Bell

I'm not saying the relationship took a while; I'm saying in my life, it took a while to find this. Our priorities are each other, too. The word 'love' is thrown around. 'I love you' is great to hear, but you want to feel it. You want to feel that you're understood, and they know exactly who you are, and they know how to take care of you."
14. Jessica Biel
"Communication, communication, communication… The ability to be really honest about how you're feeling and what your needs are. Just be able to communicate really honestly with your partner.

15. Jamie Lee Curtis
"Don't get divorced.”

The hardest is compromise. You always want to be considerate of each other. It’s not just about you anymore."
— Lauren Conrad on her blog, LaurenConrad.com
17. Gabriel Union

21. John Krasinski
“The best days of my life started when I met my wife — that’s the truth, it’s not just me saying it because it sounds nice on a card. She’s one of the coolest people, she’s so talented, she’s beautiful, and she’s certainly out of my league. And so all of a sudden all of the things I loved, I got to find someone who loved that about me… When you’re lucky enough to meet your one person, then life takes a turn for the best. It can’t get better than that.”
