Colin Firth treats marriage like marathon

LONDON - Actor Colin Firth says the secret to his happy marriage is that he and his wife Livia Giuggioli always take out time for each other and he treats the marriage like a “marathon”.

“You know, we’ve made it 15 years together. I think that’s pretty good going, by Hollywood standards. And it’s going to go on forever. You just navigate things on a daily basis. We are crazy about each other,” contactmusic.com quoted him as saying.

“We’re very committed on a daily basis to how we deal with our family lives. But the real secret is time - we have to make sure that we spend enough time together.

“Every relationship in life you’re going to have to take care of, there’s a marathon factor to it.”

The couple has two sons, Luca, 9, and Matteo, 7.
