Actor and comedian Seth Rogen has spoken out in a rare interview about his marriage to actress and producer Lauren Miller, revealing the two qualities that have kept their 15-year relationship strong.
In an interview published June 13 by The New York Times, Rogen spoke at length about his relationship with his wife. The couple met in 2005 and married six years later, in 2011.
The actor was also discussing his role in director Olivia Wilde's new film, where he plays a man trapped in an unhappy marriage.
"What's interesting about a film like this is that you're in rehearsal, the actors are there, the writers are there, and you're discussing relationships. At some point you have to define what's considered a good relationship and what's considered a bad relationship, at least according to the story of the film," he explained.
According to Rogen, people always bring their personal experiences to these discussions.
"I remember feeling very confident when I talked about what a really good relationship looks like, a relationship that has been good for a very long time," he said.
But what is his definition of a healthy relationship?
"It's a couple that treats each other well, that loves each other, and that tries to understand or justify their partner, instead of constantly looking for things they don't like about them," the comedian said.
He then added that, for him, everything boils down to two main qualities:
"For me, it's all about care and tenderness. You have to love your partner and want them to love you. You have to be close to your partner and feel attracted to them, and it has to be mutual."
Rogen and Miller, who have been together for more than two decades, have also collaborated professionally on several projects. Most recently, they are working together on the actor's upcoming animated film.
