Jerry Seinfeld Talks Marriage
Jerry Seinfeld just celebrated his 1oth wedding anniversary to his wife, Jessica, and is coming out with a new reality show called, The Marriage Ref. Jessica had suggested he make it. It’s based on the petty fights they had when they first were married. I can imagine that everyone has those petty fights and things you wish you never said. Jerry talked to Breezy Mama all about love and his marriage. Here at the highlights:
On what love means to him: Commitment. And that you accept that it’s normal to fight and that it’s even funny. I hear about people who have been married a long time and they start to fight and then they just start laughing.
On being a great husband: I just love my wife. I’m not easy to live with. I try not to say that thing that you wish you didn’t say. I’m a pretty good fighter. I’m incredibly edgy and difficult and cranky, but I will not get personal.
On his 10 year long marriage and how they have kept it together: We really just love to be together and all couples have to learn… you don’t know that when you get married you’re going to have these huge fights. You think it’s going to be perfect and it comes as a huge shock. [And then after] both of us talking with friends, [we find] out that we all [fight]. This is the thing with the show — especially with men – men do not share with other men about what’s going on in their marriage so they suffer in silence and they think ‘my marriage is a mess.’ I feel a sense of mission with this show because I want to tell everybody your marriage is fine. We’re all doing this.

I love this post! As a mother-less daughter and a young wife I didn’t have anyone to turn to in my first year of marriage.
It is so true when Jerry says, “you don’t know that when you get married you’re going to have these huge fights. You think it’s going to be perfect and it comes as a huge shock”.
I did think to myself, “Is this marriage a mess, have I made a mistake?” Sometimes the small things seem like huge things, as time goes by and you perfect your dance together perspective and time become the greatest gift.
