Cyndi Lauper, the pop icon known for her hits like “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” recently shared her wisdom on how to keep a marriage strong.

In a candid moment, she revealed “You have your highs and lows of course. But sometimes the things you think are important when you’re young just aren’t important. Your partner is the best friend you’ll ever have, that you’ll spend the most time with. So you have to talk to them, share stuff.”

Solid advice, right? It’s easy to get caught up in life’s little stresses and misunderstandings, especially when you’re younger.

But as Lauper points out, the key to longevity in a marriage lies in friendship and open communication.

Just like with a best friend, the more you share, the deeper your connection becomes.

So, if you want to keep your relationship strong, don’t forget the importance of talking, sharing, and treating your partner like your best friend.

It’s this foundation that creates lasting bonds and keeps love alive, through all of life’s ups and downs.
