SARAH JESSICA PARKER AND MATTHEW BRODERICK<\/h3>\n
Sarah Jessica Parker is best-known for her role as Sex and the City<\/em>‘s “Carrie Bradshaw,” a woman constantly looking for her perfect life partner (which she happily found in Mr. Big). In real life, she’s been with fellow actor Matthew Broderick, whom she met in 1991. The two met through her brother after she’d ended a seven-year relationship with Robert Downey, Jr. They married in 1997 and have three kids. So how do two high-profile actors living in the hustle-bustle of New York City keep it together? Matthew says that their big secret is “communicating.” And the best tidbit of advice? “Don’t go to bed mad.” Sounds like something Ferris Bueller would share.<\/p>\n Meryl Streep has won or been nominated for numerous Oscars throughout her Hollywood career. She’s been deemed “America’s greatest living actress.” But her relationship with husband Don Gummer is something she keeps out of the spotlight. She met \u2013and later married — the sculptor in 1978, just a few months after her longtime partner John Cazale (The Godfather<\/em>) passed from lung cancer. They have four children together. So how do they keep it together? Streep told one interviewer, \u201cYou have to listen to your partner’s problems, suggestions, and advice, and accept that you’re not always right. Conversation is the key to a successful marriage.”<\/p>\n The affable drummer for the Fab Four married his first wife, Liverpool hairdresser Maureen, in 1965, at the height of Beatlemania. The two split in 1975. But love struck Ringo again in 1980 on the set of the movie, Caveman<\/em> when he met his co-star, former Bond girl Barbara Bach. They married in 1981. While Starr admitted that he knew he loved her within days of their first meeting, the couple struggled. His career was tanking, and both were fighting addiction issues. They checked into rehab together and remain clean and sober. In 1989, Starr kicked off the first of his \u201cAll-Starr Band\u201d shows, which are still hugely popular. The tough times seem to have made the couple closer than ever. Starr once told People<\/em> magazine, “I think I love Barbara as much [today] as I did [when we met] and I’m beyond blessed that she loves me and we’re still together.” For her part, Bach has put it more simply: \u201cI love the man, and that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n Halloween<\/em> actress Jamie Lee Curtis remembers flipping through a magazine and spotting a photo of This Is Spinal Tap<\/em> star Christopher Guest. On the spot, she told her friend she was going to marry him. Her agent set up a date, but Guest never called. The two later ran into each other at a restaurant, and he made a date to see her the next day. The couple married in 1984 and have two kids. Curtis has been frank about her issues with addiction, and applies what she\u2019s learned to her relationship with Guest: “There\u2019s a recovery phrase that says, ‘Stay on the bus\u2026the scenery will change\u2026You think you\u2019re having a bad week, but stay on the bus, because one of these days you’ll look out the window and it’ll be beautiful\u2026 I think it can apply to almost anything where you feel unhappy in that moment. I’m not a wild romantic. I’m a realist. I respect him. And I just don’t leave.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/3.jpg\")
