Secrets of Hollywood's HAPPIEST COUPLES

THESE LONGTIME PAIRS SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT MAKING THE MOST OUT OF MARRIAGE

Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban

"I met him later in life, and it's been the best thing that's ever happened to me," gushes Nicole, 56, about the father of her two youngest daughters whom she wed in 2006. "[We] support each other the best way we can," adds Keith, 55. "Underneath it all, we're as normal as you can get."

Michael J. Fox & Tracy Pollan 

Four decades after she was hired to play his love interest on Family Ties, Tracy, 63, and Michael, 62, are still going strong. "I think we really listen to each other. We are there for each other when we need each other," says Tracy, who has four children with Michael. "We also give each other space when that's needed."

Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson

"Tom and I have always been supportive of each other and what we do," says Rita, 66, who wed the actor, 67, in 1988 after reuniting on the set of the film Volunteers. The pair have two sons together. "The success of our relationship was a matter of timing, maturity and our willingness to have an intimate connection," says Tom, who has one early marriage behind him. "We both know that no matter what, we'll be with each other and we'll get through it."

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill

Faith, 55, and Tim, 56, continue to enjoy each other's company even after 26 years of marriage and three daughters together. "For our wedding anniversary, we stayed home, in our pajamas, and watched TV-we loved it," says Tim. Adds Faith: "I think it's important to laugh a lot and have a good time."
