Like every marriage, Hayek and her husband have encountered issues, but the actress revealed that they adopted a golden strategy in resolving their conflicts which has kept things smooth for them.

The pair decided to focus on the solution to the problem rather than pointing fingers at each other and playing the blame game. Due to their strategy, the couple has never said anything nasty to each other or harbored resentments.
