Connie Chung Shares Secret of 40-Year Marriage With Husband Maury Povich

Transcript

00:00I kind of knew he was going to be the one, but I wasn't going there, you know, and he wasn't going there.

00:07We were both single and enjoying our freedom.

00:12When I was ready to, you know, get tied down, he wasn't ready.

00:16When he was ready to get tied down, I wasn't ready.

00:19So it went back and forth and back and forth, and we slow walked this relationship for a long time.

00:25When he was living way across country, he was such a bad boy that I said,

00:33hey, let's take a time out for six months, you know, and I think that was good.

00:40I think if you really break it down, I think that Maury and I have always had our own things that we do.

00:51I believe that you don't have to be friends with all his friends, and he doesn't have to be friends with all of my friends.

00:59And he can go do what he wants to do, and I'll do what I want to do.

01:04We always come together and have dinner together, and sometimes we have lunch together too.

01:10But we don't kind of get in each other's hair.

01:14To me, I could never spend all day long with him.

01:19And that's why I think I know I love him, but when we spend too much time together, that's when I don't like him.

01:27But if I can say one thing, I like the guy I see on TV because he, you know, people can scream and cry and tell them all their problems.

01:41But when he comes home, he doesn't want to hear any of my problems.
