  7. "You gotta talk, you gotta listen, you gotta laugh!” - Rita Wilson • I feel very blessed to be married to an incredibly progressive man. He has never inhibited me from doing anything. He’s very secure. He celebrates other people’s success. That’s my philosophy, too. • We’ve been married for 21 years. In Hollywood, that’s big. But listen, Tom and I have a lot in common. People sometimes say, “I’m done being married.” We really wanted to be married. • We try to do little weekend trips, just the two of us. We definitely do date nights… I have to say this—he makes me laugh. That’s a big part of it. I make him laugh, too. Very early on, before we were married … we were in New York … holding hands. We were getting ready to cross the street. He said, “I just want you to know that you don’t have to change anything about who you are, or what you do, to be with me.” Women like hearing that from a guy.
