TOGETHER FOREVER

Barack and Michelle met at the Chicago law firm in which they both worked, and she admits she resisted his charms because she was his adviser:

"BECOMING" REVEALS THE OBAMAS WORK ON THEIR MARRIAGE

Michelle Obama's best-selling memoirs "Becoming," have revealed that the couple has always worked hard on their marriage:

“Because we’re role models, it’s important for us to be honest and say, ‘If you’re in a marriage and there are times you want to leave, that’s normal,’ because I felt that way.”

Michelle felt it was important for young couples to realize that there are good and bad moments in every marriage, but with love and dedication, those bad moments can be overcome.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S DETERMINATION GOT HER TO PRINCETON

Michelle Obama's blockbuster memoir "Becoming" has revealed the struggles the former First Lady has been through to "become" the woman we admire.

And those difficulties started in high school when the ambitious young student was told by a college counselor to give up her dream of attending an Ivy League school:

"I'm not sure that you're Princeton material."

Michelle was shocked, but she disregarded the counselor's advice and applied to Princeton, where her brother Craig was studying:

"I wasn't going to let one person's opinion dislodge everything I thought I knew about myself."

Michelle's faith in herself was vindicated and she was accepted by Princeton. The rest, as they say, is history.
