Channing Tatum and his wife, actress Jenna Dewan, opened up about their marriage at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Vow" Tuesday, telling Hollyscoop.com how they maintain their relationship while spending so much time apart.

"Our schedules make it a little difficult at times and you have to make sure you have, like a rule," Dewan said. "We have a like a two week rule. So we see each other every two weeks."

She added: "If you want to make it work, you make it work. That's what happens."

For now, it seems that the couple is too busy for children, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been on Tatum's mind. "We're married, so it doesn't really get any farther than that. Other than kids," the actor told Hollyscoop. The couple said they plan to have children together someday, but not any time in the near future.

Dewan and Tatum first met while filming "Step Up" in 2005. They began dating after the film finished shooting and married in Malibu in 2009.

Maybe they're marriage is successful so far because sometimes they don't see each other for up to 2 weeks at a time. Less chance for conflict to arise.

Now there are two people who know all about marriage and how to make it work. Been married all of two years. How silly.

They are OBVIOUSLY talking about their type (Hollywood type) of marriage. How many of you have schedules that keep you appart from your spouses for weeks at a time? That's what I thought. Best of luck to them and to any married couple!

They got married in 2009! I guess in Hollywood three years might seem like a long marriage, but in the real world, they're still newlyweds & haven't been married long enough to give advice on how to have a successful marriage.

My wife and I have a two-year rule. If I don't have sex with her within two years, I must check her for a pulse!

Holy crap, they have been married a whole three years and are going to tell all of us how to do it? Lets see them stay together when they don't know where their next meal is coming from or how they are going to pay their $75 a month rent.

I think the reason why their marriage works is that she doesn't mind being the less famous spouse. Usually the woman doesn't mind letting her husband's career flourish. Tom/Rita, Nicole/Tom/Katie
