A few years back, Oprah Winfrey had actor Michael J. Fox and his wife, actress Tracy Pollan on her show. You may recall that the famous couple met while working together on the TV show Family Ties. You may also be aware that Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease just three years after his wedding ceremony with Tracy. The two have now been married for 18 years.
On her show, Oprah asked Tracy if there was ever a time when she said to herself, "This is isn't what I bought into!"
This was Tracy's response: "No....Michael and I had great role models. Though his father has passed away, his parents had an amazingly strong marriage, as do mine. Both weathered really tough times. For us, it has been normal to stay together through difficulties. We grew up witnessing that first hand. "
A successful lifelong marriage together is not possible without that kind of a deep commitment to each other.
