Former First Lady Michelle Obama opened up about her marriage to Barack Obama and shared a personal realization about happiness.
She revealed that she once thought her husband was responsible for her happiness but later understood that she needed to take responsibility for it herself.
“I realized that he can’t be responsible for my happiness,” Michelle Obama said. “I’ve to be responsible for that. And I’ve to define it for myself.”
The Obamas have been married for 31 years and have been open about the ups and downs of their relationship.
In the interview, Michelle Obama emphasized the importance of understanding that no relationship is perfect and that it takes work to maintain a strong marriage.
“There are some broken things that happen even in the best of marriages,” she said. “But it’s about working through those challenges and not giving up on each other.”
