Ever since former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama , skipped a few public appearances with her husband and former President of the US Barack Obama , rumours are rife about trouble in their marriage. And if true, this would be a high-profile divorce. Moreover, Barack and Michelle Obama have been married for over 30 years, which makes rumours about their divorce all the more shocking.
Now, setting the record straight about the speculations of their troubled marriage, Michelle recently told entrepreneur and investor Steven Bartlett in a podcast, "If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it (laughed)". Adding to it, Michelle, who was attending the podcast with her brother Craig Robinson , said, "Let me tell you, he would know it... And everybody would know it."
She further said that she's "not a martyr" and joked, "I would be problem-solving in public, like, 'Let me tell you what he did'." To which her brother Robinson added, "If they were having a problem, I'd be doing a podcast with him."
But on a serious note, talking about her marriage and relationship issues, Michelle also said that marriage is "hard" for her and Barack Obama, reported Daily Mail. However, she was quick to add that she "wouldn't trade it (anything else in the world)," calling Barack Obama, "as the young people say... my person."
Michelle Obama's tip for a successful marriage
Talking about what keeps their marriage going, even after 32 years of togetherness, Michelle said that both she and Barack Obama believe in it and are committed to make it work. "The beauty of my husband and our partnership is that neither one of us was ever really, ever going to quit at it, because that's not who we are. And I know that about him. He knows that about me," Michelle Obama said.
Michelle Obama is setting the record straight on marriage— and it’s refreshingly honest.
She opened up about how many young couples give up too quickly, partly because they’re comparing themselves to a picture-perfect image of her and Barack. “I talk about this because I think people quit on marriage too soon,” the 'Becoming' author said. “There’s friction built into the relationship. And if you’re not talking about it, getting help, going to therapy, or figuring out how to keep growing together— it’s easy to walk away.”
She added, “People see me and Barack and think, ‘#couplegoals.’ But I’m like, it’s hard. Really hard.”
