Denzel Washington reveals secret to happy marriage: 'I do what I'm told. I keep my mouth shut'


Denzel Washington recently revealed to People magazine his recipe for marital success after securing 35 years under his belt.

“I do what I’m told. I keep my mouth shut,” Denzel said.

Simple enough. Lol.

The Equalizer 2 star also revealed that when he and his wife celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary in June, they did so in a low-key way. “We just chilled, had some dinner,” he said. “It was kind of quiet."

So what is their secret? What makes a marriage work for three decades?

“There’s too many things!” said Washington of what he appreciates most about his better half. “What pops into my head: security, food, a beautiful home. The difference between a house and a home, it’s a big difference. You can buy a house, but that doesn’t make it a home – and not to say a man can’t make a home a home, but my wife has made our house a home, and raised these beautiful kids [John David,33, Katia, 30, twins Olivia and Malcolm, 27] and protected them and sacrificed for them, she did the heavy-lifting.”

Denzel also went on to praise his wife’s cooking skills.

“She has a few [specialties]. I’ve been eating her curry chicken since I’ve known her,” he said. “I used to make it too, but not as good as hers.”
