Hugh Jackman’s 3 Sweet Rules for Keeping His 21-Year Marriage Strong
“We are not going to spend more than two weeks apart, and we are not going to work at the same time if we don’t have to financially. So, one of us is always there to support the other." —Hugh Jackman, on prioritizing his marriage
First, the X-Men star told Today that the couple strictly adheres to two rules: “We are not going to spend more than two weeks apart, and we are not going to work at the same time if we don’t have to financially. So, one of us is always there to support the other." Okay, okay, chances are you and your S.O. will likely work simultaneously, but you can embrace Jackman's guidance as an invitation to have that all-important conversation about money and to re-organize your work trips to maximize face time with your bae.
Next, Jackman said that he and Furness consistently carve out time to go on adventures together. Their most notable trip so far being to Ethiopia in 2009, where the pair met a coffee farmer who inspired Jackman to start Laughing Man Coffee—the Australian couple's conscious coffee brand.
So, after you talk about finances with your partner, maybe also set a date for your next road trip, hiking excursion, or under-the-radar stint abroad. It'll lighten the mood, for sure, not to mention pave the way for creating awesome memories and maybe even a side hustle, à la Jackman and Furness.
