James Brolin's Secret to a Blissful 30-Year Marriage with Barbra Streisand Revealed
James BrolinIn the chaotic world of Hollywood where relationships often fizzle out as quickly as they ignite, Barbra Streisand and James Brolin stand out as a beacon of marital success. As they approach their 30th anniversary, the couple has shared the secret to their enduring relationship with the world. According to James Brolin, the "best investment" they ever made was their mattress, which has played an unexpectedly pivotal role in keeping their marriage strong.
Brolin, 84, revealed this unconventional secret during a recent appearance on the Today show. He emphasized the importance of leisurely time spent together in bed, reading and working side by side. "We're both lazy", he admitted with a smile, "We love to sleep late. We do a lot of our work on the phone, on paper, reading, right next to each other".
Aside from their mattress, Brolin also highlighted the importance of taking walks together as a way to maintain harmony and avoid conflicts. "You learn to take a walk", he explained. "Both of us, not just me! I just think you gotta say, 'Okay, take a deep breath, take a walk.'" This practice, he suggests, is akin to how some animals handle disputes — by stepping away and calming down.
The pair first met on a blind date in 1996 and married in an intimate ceremony two years later. Despite the challenges that life has thrown their way, their relationship remains steadfast, supported by patience and negotiation — skills Brolin regards as crucial to any successful marriage.
Reflecting on their journey, Brolin fondly recalls proposing to the legendary singer multiple times before she said "yes", and believes that marrying Streisand was "the best thing [he's] ever done". As they prepare to celebrate another year together, their story of love and companionship continues to inspire many.
