Goldie Hawn recently shared insights into her long-lasting relationship with Kurt Russell at a charity event.
When someone has been with their partner for several decades, their relationship advice can be particularly valuable.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been together for over 40 years, and she revealed a key factor in maintaining their strong bond.
During the MindUp’s Goldie Hawn Foundation charity event in Los Angeles, Hawn offered straightforward advice on relationships.
She emphasized the significance of building a relationship that endures over time, providing a perspective that many might find logical.
“You have to have good sex,” she stated candidly.
“It’s something that connects you and creates more belonging,” she explained. “People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer.”
However, Hawn clarified that the act itself isn’t the only crucial factor, highlighting the importance of ‘warmth and intimacy.’
She also mentioned other vital elements that contribute to a lasting and fulfilling relationship beyond the bedroom.
“You have to be nice to each other upon occasion,” she said with humor.
“You don’t think the same oftentimes,” she noted. “You have to accept that and measure: ‘Are we having fun, or is this something we want to do? Do we have laughs together?'”
“‘Do we share certain things?’ You don’t have to share everything. We have a lot of expectations, I think, around relationships, but you have to like the person. That’s very important.”
While Hawn’s advice may seem simple, it is often overlooked, and her experience suggests she understands what she’s talking about.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been together since 1983, after reconnecting during the filming of “Swing Shift.”
Though Hawn openly shares relationship advice, Russell tends to be more reserved.
In a conversation with US Weekly, he remarked, “I am the last person in the world to think I should give advice to anybody. It’s just a day to day.”
Regarding Hawn, he said, “She is always my priority. We’re ‘of the moment’ people. We just kind of say, ‘What do you feel like? What do you want to do? Do you want to watch something?’”
