Trust is one of the most important building blocks of any longterm relationship, but as the saying goes, trust should be earned— not given!
And yes, I will be hosting dating seminars because I clearly know soooo much about relationships, lols.
Mark shared an embarassing story about his relationship with Kelly in *What Makes a Marriage Last*, a book co-authored by Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue, who have been married for 40 years.
The following excerpt was published by People .
“After we were married, I was doing a show in Boston, and I couldn’t get a hold of her all day,” Mark recalled.
“We didn’t have cell phones then. I got a really bad feeling. So I got on a flight to New York and called her from the plane and asked her what she was doing that night.”
Kelly then stepped in to share her side of the story: “Apparently he thought that sounded very fishy. He wanted to catch me. So he gets home and tells the doorman to call up to the apartment and tell me there’s a flower delivery. I’m excited because I’m thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s sending me flowers!’”
“Meanwhile, I have a johnny mop in one hand, and I’m wearing a bathrobe,” she continued.
“So I open the door, and it’s him. He comes in — he doesn’t even say hello. He’s looking for something. I’m still looking for the flower guy! And he’s sweeping the scene!”
Mark explained he learned an important lesson about jealousy that day: “[It] feels horrible and you know you’re wrong… I’m less jealous these days.”
