Longtime loves and co-stars Tracy Pollan and Michael J. Fox have been happily married since July 1988. Fox told Ellen DeGeneres in 2014 that it's balance that makes their relationship work: "I'm an optimist. I'm famous for my positive outlook and I expect the best things to happen. Tracy's a realist and a bit of a pessimist and a bit of a hypochondriac."

These two married in December 1997, and the spark is very much alive between them. "I love when Will looks at me and says, 'You look so freaking good!' When my husband of almost 20 years can’t take his eyes off me? That’s amazing," Pinkett Smith told Shape magazine in December 2014.
Matthew Broderick & Sarah Jessica Parker

Broderick and Parker married in May 1997 and have been going strong ever since. "We really are friends beyond everything else and we talk a lot," Broderick told Meredith Vieira in November 2014. "Keep talking I guess, I know how cliché that is. Too much silence is definitely not a good idea."

The acclaimed actress and her sculptor husband tied the knot in September 1978. Streep told New Zealand Women's Weekly in 2009 that the secret to their long relationship is strong communication. "You have to listen to your partner’s problems, suggestions and advice, and accept that you’re not always right. Conversation is the key to a successful marriage," she said.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have been married since October 1996. When HuffPost Entertainment asked Tim McGraw for the secret to the country singers' long marriage, he said, "The easy answer is just to shut up and not say anything, that’s easy. But really it’s a lot of give and take and it’s a lot of no ultimatums."
