Hanks and Wilson married in 1988, as Hanks puts it \u2013 for \u201call the right reasons\u2026 Our connection is as concrete as me sitting here. Not that marriage doesn\u2019t come close to being hell in a handbasket sometimes. But we both know that no matter what, we\u2019ll be with each other \u2014 and we\u2019ll get through it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Hamill and his future wife, Marilou, met in 1981 at a dentist\u2019s office where he was a patient and she was a dental hygienist. Although crude, Mark remembers their first introduction \u2013 \u201cShe came into the waiting room in jeans, white coat, breasts like melons, looking like a Vargas painting\u2026 \u201cI said, \u2018They let you dress like that at work?\u2019 She said, \u2018Yeah. Next.\u2019\u201d It may have been a rough introduction but that\u2019s all it took to start a life of 42 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s never been anything other than supportive of me,\u201d Bacon told People magazine. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t have a competitive bone in her body when it comes to me. She takes my successes as hers. I\u2019m the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding his 45-year marriage to wife Cheryl, Ron had the following \u2013 \u201cPeople say, \u2018How\u2019d you do it?\u2019 There\u2019s no technique. There\u2019s no tactic other than communication is really important. You have to learn to communicate and have difficult conversations in constructive ways,\u201d said Howard. \u201cBeyond that, there\u2019s an element of luck because people either grow together or they don\u2019t and I don\u2019t think you can force that.\u201d Finishing, he said of his wife, \u201cShe\u2019s unbelievably supportive and always has been,\u201d Howard says of his wife. \u201cOur compatibility has endured through all kinds of experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She took a second to tell her friend, Debra Hill, that \u201cI\u2019m going to marry that man,\u201d pointing to Christopher Guest. She called his agent the next day to leave her number\u2026 he never called back. Fast forward a few months where they were both dining at a West Hollywood restaurant. When they made eye contact, He waved to me as if to say, \u201cI\u2019m the guy you called.\u201d I waved back: \u201cI\u2019m the woman who called you.\u201d A few minutes later, he got up to leave. Standing 20 feet away, he shrugged his shoulders and put up his hand as if to say, \u201cI\u2019ll see ya.\u201d As he left, I looked down at my plate.\u201d Despite this awkward encounter, he called the next day, and the pair had their first date four days later. They married only a few months after Curtis made her self-fulling prophecy in 1984.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From tragedy came love. See, Meryl Streep was mourning the loss of her boyfriend, John Cazale, who had died of lung cancer in 1978. After being kicked out of the former pair\u2019s apartment, her brother had arrived to help her move, however, his friend, Dom Gummer was also along for the ride. Amazingly, Gummer and Streep would marry sis months later. Regarding his influence on her life, expressed during her 2012 Academy Award speech for Julie and Julia, she had the following to say \u2013 \u201cFirst, I\u2019m going to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music, and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives, you\u2019ve given me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLove is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.\u201d \u2013 Felix Adler<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Despite Will and Jada being one of the best examples of a healthy relationship in Hollywood, they\u2019ve proven that even they are susceptible to the pressures of fame after 23 years of marriage. After the pair came to a special agreement, rumors had been swirling about a separation between the two and Jada\u2019s relationship with August Aimes, but this couple prevailed and came out on the other side with their family and marriage in-tact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the two met during the filming of Bugsy, Warren had promised Bening that he wasn\u2019t go to hit on her during filming.

Jason Jensen and Rebecca Claire Ely met in a coffee shop in the antique district of downtown Glendale, AZ. He recalls having been “set up”, and hasn’t regretted it. “I’ve had some good luck and some bad luck in my life. We all have. But I’ve had guardian angels watching over me through it all pulling me out of the fire. My wife is one of those. She’s my inspiration, she makes me a better person, even though it rubs me the wrong way sometimes. Especially those times because that’s how you grow. Love is patience as you grow. I don’t want to imagine where I’d be without her, and each day is a brighter one because she’s in it.” When asked about the “secret” for a healthy marriage, he says, “There are no secrets. That’s the secret. Open communication. And teaching and learning from each other how to do that. No judgement. No pressure. Just patience. Just listen.” Even after being together 20 years, they still txt each other half a dozen times a day when they’re apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taken in 2003, \u201cRomantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love, and I think there is a potential for it at any stage of your life.
