She said: “Good communication and honesty is the key.The whole fairy tale and happy ever after ending that we're sold by society is actually not adhesive to a working marriage.” Erin added: “Marriages take a lot of work and as time passes individuals change and it's about being able to compromise and communicate and move in tandem with your partner. “Marriage is tough, especially after ten years together we have definitely had our issues, but we can overcome them”.
