“I think we have a wonderful marriage. I love my husband. He’s my best friend. But I always like to talk honestly about it because I think about other young couples who think there are no struggles to get here. And there are. That’s part of it. The message is - work through the struggles. Start out with somebody that you respect and that you trust so that when you hit the bumps that are inevitable you always have that foundation. I tell Barack as mad as he can make me I look at him and I say, “I really LIKE you. I like you. and I like the way you think and I like the person you. It’s hard to stray to far to stay mad too long, when the person is someone you like.”
— Michelle Obama, to Oprah on The Christmas at the White House special
