Nicole Kidman's Marriage Rule

HONG KONG — Nicole Kidman says she and her husband, country singer Keith Urban, try to never spend more than three days apart in an effort to maintain a loving marriage.

The Oscar winner, whose marriage to Tom Cruise ended in divorce, told reporters in Hong Kong on Thursday that her focus has shifted from career to family. She and Urban have a 1-year-old daughter.

Kidman said: "I think I've reached a point in my life where I've slowed down a lot, so it's not difficult. My priority is very much keeping my family together and not being away from them."

The Australian actress was in Hong Kong to open a luxury watch store and attend a fundraising banquet for the U.N. Development Fund for Women.

Good for her.....all about priorities...they have enough money so it won't hurt for her to take a long break.

Nothing wrong with keeping your marriage together.
They are parents now and if they want the best for their
little one....that is what you do...you make the sacrifices.

She has been a parent for a long time. She and Tom adopted in the past. I saw pics on HP of Tom out with Connor at the Lakers game. I don't ever see her out with him. I think it is great she is focusing on her new family, but does she spend time with Conner? I hope so.

Cruise is a publicity whore. You never see photos of Nicole out with any of her kids because she doesn't want them exposed to the public.

She is keeping a close eye on her family, which is easy to do for somebody who doesn't blink but 6 times a years.

A watch store? She still thinks she lives in the 20th century?

She was probably thinking only of the buckets of money they gave her to do the job. And, yes, there is still a huge market for luxury watches... many being bought by the folks who sold you that Swatch.

Quote:"Really sorry that you couldn't resist. Furthermore, I don't believe Keith Urban was a heroin addict. I believe he had trouble with alcohol."

WRONG. He was a hard core addict. He's talked about it many times in interviews where he had coke laying around his old Nashiville house all over the place! It wasn't just alcohol for him.

"Urban shocked everyone by entering the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs on Oct. 19 for treatment for his recurring battle with alcohol abuse. No stranger to the pain of addiction—in 1998 he checked into Nashville's Cumberland Heights treatment center with a cocaine problem—Urban says this second time round came because he saw the writing on the wall."

though time spent away once in a while often makes the heart grow fonder and the priorities get refocused, as long as you have a loyal partner.

Can Nicole get to see her first two kids, please?! Have they even been allowed to come visit her in Australia? It's heartbreaking.

DO YOU KNOW SHE DOESN'T SEE THEM OR ARE YOU ASSUMING SHE DOESN'T

Family doesn't just mean her 1 yr old and keith. Her other children are often photographed with her, and Tom. But they are not as 'interesting' to the tabloids as a baby.

No, she's seldom photographed with them. In fact, since she remarried I can think of only two occasions; the wedding itself and game she attended with both of them.

But that was years ago; on the other hand, she IS seen with the Sunday Rose and talks at length in interviews about the experience and joy of having a biological child.

Off topic, but why are you pink?

I think that's rule number 2.

Number one is likely "Never marry a closeted gay religious fanatic."

But perhaps her first rule is silent, like the "k" in "knowledge."

figure her first marriage rule would be to not marry a closeted cultist

She's just establishing rules as she goes along.
Rule 1. Do not marry a closeted cultist (oops)
Rule 2. Don't marry an addict. (Heh... moving on...)
Rule 3. No more than 3 days apart. (THERE WE GO)

She's just establishing rules as she goes along.
