Together for 40 years: the main secret of a happy marriage of Goldie and Kurt
They have been together since 1983, but they are as happy as they were 40 years ago. What is their secret?
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn met back in 1966 on the set of a children’s musical. “He was charming, but too young for me,” shared the actress. At that time, she was 21 years old, and he was 16 years old.
Relations between the actors arose only in 1983, when they again crossed paths at work, this time in the film “Extra Shift”. By that time, Goldie had already been married twice, and Kurt – once.
Three years after the start of the relationship, the couple had their only common child – Wyatt Russell, today also an actor.
In 2023, Goldie and Kurt’s relationship turns 40, and their marriage (albeit not officially registered) can be called perfect, and this will not be an exaggeration.
The couple have carried their love, respect and devotion to each other through the decades, and are ready to share their wisdom.
The first thing Goldie points out is the very absence of a stamp in the passport. “If I were married, I would have divorced a long time ago. Marriage is an interesting psychological thing. It is essential if you need to feel connected to someone.
But if you’re independent and you enjoy that independence, there’s something special about not being married. This gives you freedom to make decisions. I decided to stay here and Kurt decided to stay. And we like this choice, ”the actress shared.
Goldie noted that marriage is not at all a prerequisite for a strong relationship. Only the desire to be together is obligatory, and it must be mutual.
“Relationships are also about not losing yourself in each other. To be together, to be two pillars supporting the house and the roof, and to be different. Don’t agree on everything, but learn to deal with disagreement,” says Hawn. Such is the secret.
