DANCY SPEAKS ON MARRIAGE

The couple both have busy career lives, but they try to meet each other halfway. Dancy, 45, shared that it was not proper for couples to make rules but rather they should aspire to attain some level of respect within the marriage.

He gave an example stating that he and his partner did not make decisions without informing each other. He also noted that it was important for partners to be happy independently. This, he referred to as elbow room.

The star, who is a mom-of-two, got real noting that tough emotions came with motherhood; Danes listed the difficulty of balancing career with child-rearing, among other things that bother moms.

The star described motherhood as incredibly challenging because moms could get nostalgic about their lives before motherhood. She, however, noted that the interesting part was that it was fun raising expressive children.
