Here’s Melania Trump’s 4 Top Marriage Secrets

How have Donald and Melania Trump kept their marriage strong and lasting for these 12 years? Here’s what Melania has said about building a strong relationship:

1. Accept your husband for who he is

Melania recognizes that both she and Donald are independent people. She told Parenting that, in marriage, it’s important not to expect the other person to be like you; you should expect them to be themselves. “You accept the person.”

Melania says many people try to change their spouse after they get married, but it’s important to understand the other person and choose to be married to that person and not try to change them into who you want them to become. “If you need to change someone it will never work. You will try your whole life and never succeed.”

2. Pick quality time over quantity

Melania believes you shouldn’t need to be with your spouse every minute of every day. The important time a husband and wife spend together should be “quality time instead of quantity.”

She told Entertainment Tonight, “[Donald and I] love to go to the movies. We love to just have a dinner, the two of us with friends…We love to go to Mira-a-Lago, spend time [with] the three of us: Barron, Donald, and me together; playing sport; and just spending time together, no matter where [we] are just having a great time.”

3. Know your role

Melania also attributes her relationship’s success to both parties recognizing their individual responsibilities within the relationship. “We know what our roles are and we are happy with them,” she said. For her, this means that she does most of the caretaking for her son, “Little Donald.” Melania doesn’t employ a nanny because she wants to take her role as a mother herself. This way Donald can “work very hard from early in the morning till late in the evening.” It makes her happy to support his passion for business.

4. Have separate bathrooms

But above all, what’s Melania’s secret to a happy marriage? Well, as reported by the Washington Post, Melania said, “We have our own bathrooms, so that’s the key.”
