Los Angeles:
Oscar nominated actor Colin Firth says the secret to a happy marriage lies in taking out time for each other and treating it like a 'marathon'.
The 'King's Speech' star, who has been married to Italian film producer-and-director Livia Giuggioli for 15 years believes his relationship is still strong as they always care for each other.
"You know, we've made it 15 years together. I think that's pretty good going, by Hollywood standards. And it's going to go on forever. You just navigate things on a daily basis. We are crazy about each other," said Firth, who is father to two kids.
"We're very committed on a daily basis to how we deal with our family lives. But the real secret is time - we have to make sure that we spend enough time together. Every relationship in life you're going to have to take care of, there's a marathon factor to it," he told CNN's Piers Morgan.
Though the 50-year-old actor has achieved immense attention from the fairer sex through his roles in 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Bridget Jones's Diary' he, prefers to ignore it.
"It does help to actually realise that however stunning the person who is fluttering eyelashes at you is, she doesn't do anything to match up to your wife. Maybe it's shallow of me to have a wife that's so beautiful but it actually makes things easier. To me she's the most beautiful woman in the world," he added.
