Famed Hollywood director Ron Howard walks us through his pursuit of marrying his high school sweetheart, Cheryl, including scouting her potential paths home from school to offer her a ride and mustering up the courage for another marriage proposal, despite earlier rejections. Now 47 years happily married with four kids and six grandkids, Howard explains how marriage counseling has helped the couple learn to problem solve. Plus, we hear from Ron’s daughter Bryce Dallas Howard, who offers up marriage advice passed down to her from her mom.

My wife was my high school senior prom date. I was 18, she was 16. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. After our second date, and first kiss, I knew she was something very special. Five years later, still as a couple, we were married. Last year she, my best friend, my dear wife, passed away after a year long illness. I was blessed to be married to her 53 years of my life. There are no words to express how much I miss her. Ron Howard is a lucky man.....as was I.

There really are no words that can actually express how you feel ..I think only someone else who has had the type of relationship that you had with your wife can really understand that total feeling of loss..when I read your comment, I remembered exactly - I lost mine suddenly 11 yrs ago and I still miss him…take care

My condolences. I married my wife in 1991, when I was 19, and she was 17. Nobody was thrilled, but she earned a Health Sciences degree, I earned my MBA, we had five kids, and we had a house by the time we were mid 20s. I had come from poverty, my dad left when I was 11, and I was NOT going to have a similar life. I'm glad you had 40 years.

By the end of the date we were going steady and we're never apart after that. Married 54 years and together 60. Two beautiful daughters and 5 wonderful grandchildren. She passed a couple of years ago. Have always loved her and always will.

I have ALWAYS said the couple should be first before the kids. Essentially if you keep your relationship strong, it really is putting the kids first.

@86sineadw Жыл бұрын

Your relationship with your partner shouldn’t come first, it should be a priority as your children should be a priority. You shouldn’t create a dynamic where your child is aware that their parents relationship is first, and theirs is second. Like you can if you want, but that would definitely have an effect on how a person develops into an adult. Knowing that there’s a hierarchy system within your family, knowing that the person you love the most, the person who created you, doesn’t prioritise you or your siblings first. That would have a serious knock on effect of what their relationships look like, how they fit into the world and how they believe the world views them. I know you need to build a strong relationship with your partner, but you’re also shaping your children, and how you treat them is how they believe they should be treated. That’s second best, second priority.

@dvdly Жыл бұрын

I don't think there's a simple answer here. Their approach was effective because they included their children in a happy environment. Put another way, they included their children in their relationship, rather than including each other in the responsibility to raise the children (which should be a given). However, if the environment is not a happy one, forget about any of the platitudes.

It was rare 47 years ago. But, I do think that because of today’s cultural influences and the decline of our civilization, it’s much harder to find quality people that will put their partner first. We’ve been programmed to be entitled and too narcissistically inclined. The daughter is very lucky to have parents that modeled true love for her and her siblings. Don’t give in to the wrong person and don’t give up on finding the right one.

Unfortunately the societal “culture” -if U will, that has become the new norm these days; seemingly - is preventing this type of “ole” true love & story to exist…I believe U have to truly be an “old soul”-which there are many out there in the younger gens, but for them to find a soul mate -quite challenging, due to so many stressors in social/interpersonal actions and relationships. Plus, so many younger gens are so competitive amongst each other, who’s better at this/that or makes more $$$$, quite materialistic & narcissistic behaviors…It all starts in the home, how were they raised, were there 2 functional/healthy stable parents or 1 parent part-time parenting, etc., so many things to consider, really!

I feel that we live in a world where everything is disposable including relationships and people. Like if there’s a furniture or item that can be fixed, most would donate or throw away and buy the replacement easily on Amazon. And it seems that that’s how a lot of people or couples are today. If they’re no longer happy, they find someone new and the cycle never ends. Grant it, if one is in a very toxic/abusive relationship or marriage, please find a way to get out. But if there isn’t and the two just need a spark in the relationship, it’s important to work it out. I’ve been happily married for almost 16 yrs now and we have two kids ages 7 and 9. I hope we stay this happy for the rest of our lives bc I really can’t see myself starting all over and my husband said the same thing 🤣

WOW 2:37 ‘’Fire and rain’’song I come from school and I play it over and over like 5 times a day before my parents come from work.. Ron’s story makes me remember how I would go to a school and wait for a girl to show up in the morning and she never knew how she inspired me to be a good student just to meet her but sadly I lost her after the summer of 1974 she never returned to that school maybe her family moved out…I was 💔broken cause I was one year older was planning to talk to her as this was my last year in high school.. yah Fire and rain was one of my favourite songs for years.. we all grow up with Ron and Happy Days

I have this kind of marriage. 36 years already! We courted a few months, I lived in Canada , he not and one day I said “ you want to get married, and he said, let’s do it”. I felt a peace inside because I had prayed for God to allow the right person to cross my path. Before that it was guys who were jealous for whatever reason and/or controlling. I believe if you put God first, He will direct you through all your struggles, all kinds of them❤

sounds like our marriage proposal. it happened in the car! I took my serious boyfriend to the pentecostal church i had been attending so i could return some books to their library on a weekday. the youth pastor met us and said to my boyfriend, oh why dont u come talk to me while she is choosing some more books, so they went off somewhere to chat. 20 minutes later, i had my new books chosen, they came back to the library and they were both smiling, the youth pastor announced to me "how would you like to meet the newest christian of this church?" I was estatic! we exchanged happy pleasantries, then the two of us went out to my car. after we got in, the first thing i said to him was "so, when u want to get married?" and here we are 46 yrs later!! 😁😁

My parents have had a fairytale marriage which was amazing growing up as a kid and even now as an adult. There was no fighting. They showed lots of kindness and affection toward each other. It really created a feeling of safety, love, and security in the home. It does have one downside though. When you grow up in a home with a fairytale marriage you have extremely high and maybe unreasonable expectations of your own marriage. Marriages are very hard. Everyone is different. I wasn't prepared for the challenges of a non-fairytale marriage. Most marriages take much more effort to work and I had no idea that was the case because my parents were just so in sync and agreeable.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having to go through that. On the surface, being agreeable might actually be people pleasing/fear of man. If that is the case, things that need to be said end up not being said; and there is, every now and then, something to be said, because each spouse is a sinner. Therefore, my encouragement to you, rather than seeing conflict as a sign of a bad marriage is that you should see it as an opportunity to grow intimacy (the root word for conflict means something close to face-to-face). It's only an opportunity, though, if you know how to conflict well. Which means, don't be a W (withdraw) E (escalate) N (negatively interpret) or I (invalidate). Be precise in what it is that your spouse did that offended you (don't say you always do..., instead refer to when he/she did...). State how you'd prefer your spouse act in the future, and get her feedback (so she feels like part of the process). Bonus: Read Tim Keller's The Meaning of Marriage.
