Michelle Obama is opening up about her 30-year marriage to Barack Obama, sharing the secrets behind its success and encouraging the new generation of married couples to stay strong. Appearing on CBS Mornings with Gayle King, Michelle admitted that marriage is hard work and it's impossible to like each other every single day. Despite the inevitable hard times, Michelle is confident that the rewards of marriage are worth it.
" I share these things because marriage is hard, and a lot of young people quit on marriage over things that are just a part of the commitment. We glamorize marriage, but young people aren't ready for the reality of it. It's up to us, people who have had successful marriages, to be honest about the fact that there will be compromises and they won't always be easy," she said.
Michelle and Barack met in 1989 and married in 1992. Since then, they have welcomed two daughters and navigated two terms in the White House. The 58-year-old former first lady even revealed that there were times when she couldn't stand her husband, particularly in the early years of raising the kids.
Michelle is offering her advice and a reminder of what a real union is about. With her words of wisdom, Michelle hopes to inspire the new generation of married couples to stay strong, even when times get tough. " If I fell out with him for 10 and we had great 20 years, I'd take those odds anytime," she said.
