Goldie Hawn

I am compelled to continuously see the bright side. It is in my DNA. My kids look at me and say: 'Mom, you're so happy!' And I do feel happy. I feel joyful inside. I can't explain it.

A lasting relationship isn't about marriage. It's about compatibility and communication. And you both need to want it to work.

I think that's what makes a successful marriage: a mindful sense of self and the ability to make clear choices to stay together or choices not to.
