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.

The duo connected well during a date after getting to know they had the same notion about marriage. Based on this, Marlo and Phil trusted each other's heart and made a move to love.

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,

While also in an interview with HuffPost, Marlo revealed the lessons she's learned from her then thirty-five years of marriage and the best gift spouses can gift each other, "I've learned not to be unfaithful, but it's essential to give each other time."

The producer/activist revealed that after 35 years of marriage, she and her husband still love each other, and the union keeps getting better. In Thomas's words, "we're in love, and we listen to each other, I just think it gets better."

Marlo Thomas and her producer husband, Phil Donahue, celebrated the last holiday season with a 2-day getaway beach trip to the Caribbean.

The actress looked attractive in a white belted midnight blue one-piece as the couple sipped their drinks in the sunshine. Meanwhile, Phil wore a blue collared shirt and swimming shorts as he kept it beachy calm.
