The secrets behind Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna's happy marriage

Celebrating their 25 years of togetherness, the couple Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna reveal what it takes to have a happy married life.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple Hamlin and Lisa have been married for 25 years.

Not that it was all fine and shine for Hamlin when it came to his love life. He had two unsuccessful marriages before he met Lisa. But these two failed marriages and one successful one have only made him wiser.

Both have been going strong for a quarter of a century and it all started with a fortuitous encounter and some fortunate timings. His adorable meet-cute with her was more than 30 years ago. Despite being in prior relationships when they first met in 1992, it only took a few months for the stars to align.

His motto is "happy wife, happy life." Over the years, the couple has learned that the secret to a happy marriage is mutual respect, an unflinching readiness to listen and understand, giving each other space, and allowing one other to be. Love, respect, listening, and attractiveness are the most important factors.

And, a lot of it also has to do with how different they are. They prove ‘opposites attract’ right and how!! They are completely and utterly opposite; while Hamlin loves the outdoors and enjoys cooking, Rinna would rather spend the day at the spa and has no culinary skills.

Their mutual support of one another also contributes to the success of their partnership.

Additionally, he adores his wife as she is, without any glitz or glamour—just a basic T-shirt and trousers with no makeup.
