Pink shares tips for a successful marriage
Updated | By Poelano Malema
What does it take to make a marriage work? Here is what Pink has to say...
Pink and Carey Hart are some of the few celebrities who have managed to make their marriage work, despite the many challenges they have faced.
The Hollywood couple got married in January 2006 after Pink proposed to Hart in 2005.
Over the years, they have managed to keep the fire burning in the midst of all the challenges they came across.
The couple has also proven that separation doesn't have to end in divorce. In 2008, they separated and reconciled two years after that.
Since then, they have been working hard to ensure they stay together.

In one of her posts on Instagram in 2020, Pink wrote: "We’ve been at this thing a long time, babe. It isn’t perfect, but I’m grateful it’s ours. I love our family. Thank you for walking in front of me, beside me, and right behind me at times. You’re a real man, Carey Hart.”
She also shared some tips of how they have made their marriage work, including agreeing to disagree and to fight nicely.
Speaking live on stage at the University of Bolton Stadium recently, Pink spoke about how marriage counselling has helped the pair make their relationship work.
She shared the main things she has learned in counselling: "This is what they teach in marriage counselling: Remorse, regret, resolution!"

In September 2020, Pink shared how counselling takes one out of their comfort zone, one of the ingredients needed in order to make marriage work.
"He’s still my favorite sweet little dirtball. He and I have been at this a long time, and it is our relentless and stubborn idealism that keeps us together. Marriage is awful, wonderful, comfort and rage. It is boring, terrifying, and a total nail biter. It is loving another fallible creature while trying to love yourself.
"It is a lifetime of coming back to the table. People laugh at us because we’re either fighting or laughing. They roll their eyes when we talk about therapy. But I’ll tell you what. It’s worth it. All of it. Even when it isn’t. Therapy isn’t for weak people or hippies or liberals. It’s for broken people that want to be whole. It’s for runaways that want a family. It’s a lesson on how to sit down and listen. How to love yourself so that the other person can, too."
