Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell explain why they never felt the need to get married after 37 years
Fox News ^ | December 9, 2020 | Stephanie Nolasco

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been together for 37 years -- and the Hollywood couple have zero plans to tie the knot.

The duo first began dating while filming 1984’s “Swing Shift” and have since built a life together without the need to get married.

“You’ve just got to want to be together,” the actress told People magazine in this week’s cover story.

“I don’t think there’s any other way to do it,” added the 75-year-old.

Despite their union, the pair have been selective when it comes to working together, the outlet shared. They appeared together in 1987’s “Overboard” before Hawn made a cameo appearance in Russell’s 2018 Netflix film “The Christmas Chronicles.”

Yeah. If the wife doesn’t have an interest anymore and is ok with it I don’t see any harm. As long as everyone is honest with each other I don’t see a problem with it.

There was a girl, Rene Talbot, who I should have married decades ago. I’m seventy five now and the one I ended up with is now gone to her own life of singleness. I sure wish I had chosen Rene back then. I owe her the biggest apology but cannot find her.

A little off topic, but Kurt's not aging well. He's 69:

Goldie's doing much better ... she's 75:

I’ve known people who’ve had long term shackups - living together with someone for 5 years then living together within a couple of months with someone else for several years before finally getting married.

And they still call it their first marriage.

The harm is to the children psychologically for one. Children need a proper mother and father. I don't know of any child that would be happy with their mother or father sleeping around. Secondly, when he finds his best piece of a%% he wont want to be around the "ones he loves".

Love is not all gushy-gushy warm kisses. Love is sometimes a sacrifice of doing things you don't want to do but you do it anyway because you truly have love in your heart.

Additionally, why doesn't she have any interest? The two need to talk. Bringing home disease or having a pregnant mistress or some other screwed up consequence isn't going really be OK with anyone that I know of.

There are truly absolute rights and wrongs in this world even if some "seem" to be unaffected by living outside of moral boundaries.

Of course, I have a great son and granddaughter and wonderful daughter-in-law who would not be had I chosen Rene. There are vagaries of choices we cannot foretell and should not allow regrets.

But they don’t know what they’re missing. Playing house appears to be acceptable to several on this thread.

Is a 37 year long (and counting) committed relationship really playing house?

I get that they have never found it “necessary to marry. What I don’t understand is why they find it necessary to keep defending their decision.

“How about a wife who doesn’t really enjoy sex but loves being a mom? She’s happy with 4 kids while he steps out from time to time and comes home to a cooked meal with the ones he loves. I’ve seen it work.”

Back in the 20’s and 30’s houses of prostitution was literally on every corner in the city my grandparents lived. My grandpap told a bunch of us at a wedding in the 1970’s that a very high percentage of married men used prostitutes when he was growing up. It was not abnormal. It was a right of passage. The police looked the other way.

I grew up in a semi rural town of 5000. There was 2 houses or prostitution in the 60’s and 70’s. . Today there are non.

“There was a girl, Rene Talbot, who I should have married decades ago.”

I love my wife, we have been married 24 going on 25 years. First marriage for both of us.........but should have married my HS sweetie who I dated through 2 years of HS and 3 years of college. . Biggest regret in my life and wonder “what if” all the time.

I still see her mom around town. She told me more than once we should have been married. I think she is disappointed in her daughters husband or maybe I just would have been better for her. We truly had physical and romantic chemistry.

I was young and stupid and did not want to be married at the time nor have kids.

Oh well.

If works for some and the families stay intact. With a mother and father. One size fits all doesn’t work with all families.

This is a strawman argument. No one ever said one size fits all with all families, not even God with the example par excellence The Holy Family. A Righteous Step-Father-protector, The Holy Virgin and the Son of God. Not the norm ever but our model.

But there are moral boundaries for male and female relationships created for a reason and when you play with these boundaries eventually it is going to cause damage usually to the most innocent involved

Shot the bull with them once at a private airport in Colorado. Super cool and friendly folks.

Interesting, thanks.

I've heard that Russell is very Libertarian and pro-gun in his politics.

I've also read that Kate Hudson absolutely adores Kurt.

Bill Hudson is her biological father, but she said that Kurt was her dad - and she said he is her rock.

Don’t know, as a young person, I did not nuance the viewpoint, just accepted it.
