Way back as May 21, 1980, Marlo wedded popular television host, Phil Donahue. Although the actress didn't believe marriage was an excellent idea for a woman, she had a change of mind when she met the talk show host.
The couple celebrated the last holiday season with a 2-day getaway beach trip to the Caribbean.

Marlo Thomas's thirty-nine-year marriage with the media personality is still going strong. The "Clever Little Lies" star once revealed the secret to their long-lasting marriage, in an interview with Today,
"That's how we've been married for 35 years, you don't give critiques."
