After 24 years of marriage, Kelly and I have seen it all: the highs, the lows, the “did you seriously just do that?” moments, and the “how did I get so lucky?” ones, too.
In this episode, we’re spilling our 24 best marriage lessons, the ones they don’t put in the wedding vows, but definitely should.
From keeping the spark alive (spoiler: yes, intimacy still matters a lot), to tag-teaming life’s curveballs, to knowing when to stand your ground and when to let the petty stuff slide… we’re dishing the mindset shifts and secret sauce that have kept us laughing, loving, and choosing each other for more than two decades.
So grab your partner (or your future partner in crime) and get ready for some marriage truth bombs, equal parts sweet, spicy, and straight to the point.
Takeaways
- 24 years together = expert status in “marriage improv.”
- It’s always us vs. the problem, never us vs. each other.
- Play the long game; most “big” fights aren’t big in five years.
- Respect each other’s quirks and triggers (even the ones that make zero sense).
- Never, ever partner-bash in public. We’re a united front, baby.
- Intimacy isn’t optional; keep the spark sizzling.
- Be each other’s biggest hype person.
- Share the load; you’re not just glorified roommates.
- Communicate early and often, or resentment will RSVP.
- Find joy in the daily grind; date nights are great, but so is laughing while folding laundry.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
