A lasting relationship isn’t about marriage. It’s about compatibility and communication. – Goldie Hawn

Hollywood actress and mother of Kate Hudson,Goldie Hawn,69 covers Porter Magazine,where she discussed relationship of 32 years with Actor,Kurt Russell. They never got married yet their union is still  going strong. This has got to be the one of the longest and successful Hollywood relationship. I found what she said about lasting relationships quite interesting;

‘A lasting relationship isn’t about marriage. It’s about compatibility and communication.
‘And you both need to want it to work. If one person does not want it to work, it isn’t going to work. Intention is the key.
‘It’s also about not losing yourself in each other. Being together, two pillars holding up the house and the roof, and being different, not having to agree on everything, learning how to deal with not agreeing. Everything’s a choice.’

‘Kurt came from three sisters and a very strong family unit. I came from one sister and two parents and a big family unit. That’s what we care about,’ she added.
‘We talked about relationships and commonality early on. We had nannies, there’s no doubt about it. We’ve both been working. But we were very present with our children.
‘It’s the same way we grew up. I had a working mother, Kurt did not. My mother was right there.’

‘We have made some strides, there’s no question. The relationship between men and women is definitely changing, but when you think that we only got to vote how many years ago? We’re still dealing with these kinds of paradigms.

‘If you look at racial issues – I’m reading Truman’s autobiography at the moment – they were dealing with the very same situations that we’re dealing with today. It’s human nature to create these problems. Women are trying to find their own power inside relationships, too. ‘You have to ask yourself, is there too much power? Do I hold too much power? Do I have more money than the other person?’  

They both have a son together,Wyatt born 1986. Goldie had Kate and brother Oliver from first marriage while Kurt has a son from previous marriage. Though marriage is sacred and a blessing from God,i agree with her in terms of lasting relationships…



At least we sere where Kate Hudson gets her vibrant and energetic attitude.
