Samuel L. Jackson & LaTanya Richardson | 51 years

The Jackson family is undeniably one of the most inspirational in the entertainment business— and no, we’re not talking about The Jackson 5. Actors Samuel and LaTanya Jackson have managed to find love and even keep it for over four decades, all while raising a child and hitting the jackpot in their respective careers.

The actress shared in an interview about what keeps their long-lasting marriage together. She revealed that one must have a big heart and the Lord. She added that anyone needs to turn to somebody whenever there are challenges, and to her, that someone is the Lord. The two first met when they were earning their college degrees, and since then, they have weathered storms in life together. While it’s not easy for them to keep their marriage intact, Mrs. Jackson’s number one tip is: never go to bed angry at your partner.
