You don't often hear about long-term celebrity marriages, because their marriages aren't tumultuous enough to make headlines. Of course, dramatic relationships are much more interesting to read about than happy ones, but it's also nice to know what keeps these rich celebrities so close together.
Marriage isn't smooth sailing, but these long-term celebrity couples have revealed their secret to what keeps them true to their vow "for better, or for worse."
Here are 10 famous celebrity couples who we can learn a thing or two from.

"I'm no expert in it but I think it has something to do "” it's the same thing as in acting: when you don't feel it, fake it," he revealed during an appearance on PEOPLE Now. "I love women and don't take this wrong, but you're very easy to manipulate ... Something shiny or flowers, it goes a long way. You have to put your attention on it. When you don't feel it, do it anyway."
9. Suzanne Somers & Alan Hamel
This couple has been together for 50 years! Suzanne has even published a book talking about the secrets to a successful relationship.

We might sit here and have a tequila. ... We dance, I cook, we sit out and watch the moonlight on the ocean."
8. Chris Hemsworth & Elsa Pataky
The actor and actress attribute their successful long-term marriage to making time for each other.
"Once you have children, every instinct and every moment of your time is consumed by that. You've got nothing for each other," Hemsworth told GQ Australia.
