Michelle Obama says the world tends to “glamorize marriage,” while the reality is that matrimony “is hard.”
“We’ve been married for 30 years,” Obama said of former President Obama during a Thursday interview with Gayle King on “CBS Mornings.”
“If I fell out with him for 10 [years,] and we had a great 20 years, I’d take those odds anytime,” the former first lady said in response to a question from King about remarks she made last year that for a decade during their relationship, she “couldn’t stand” her husband.
“We glamorize marriage,” Obama, 59, said.
“In this day and age, marriage is more about the dress, and the dresses, and the proposal, and the honeymoon and all the stuff around it. And young people aren’t ready for the real of marriage,” she told King.
**SNIP**
“It’s incumbent upon us - people who have had successful marriages - to be really honest about the fact that making a commitment to be with someone means you compromise, and compromise ain’t always fun,” she said.
“And don’t add kids into the mix because they really mess up your life,” the mom of two quipped.

Respectfully agree. And about AOC, she’s the reason every Dad should talk to their Sons about the Crazy Hot Matrix. Have fun kid, but some juice ain’t worth the squeeze…
She who has an ivy league education, celebrity status with a fawning public, unlimited wealth and power - is constantly complaining. What is it that makes her so unhappy?
That is certainly possible. The printed page doesn't convey tone of voice or facial expression.
BTW, People have some really weird ideas about the Obamas.
She’s just not a happy person, willing to spread her misery anywhere.
She is as boring as Barry himself.
Leftists know how to stay married when it helps their careers. I recall one Republican politician who even served his wife with divorce papers while she was in the hospital for cancer.
“… she “couldn’t stand” her husband...”
Well… I FINALLY have something in common with Moochelle 0bama!
Well, I can't stand him either.
“And don’t add kids into the mix because they really mess up your life,”
For most people, kids are the joy of their lives. Not for ultra liberals who hate America I guess.
Men who pretend to be women hate adopted children especially if they do not understand that they are just props in the attention whore's wardrobe. I doubt that Big Mike ever changed a diaper.
Spoken like a true pro-abortion, anti-nuclear-family, anti-Christian, anti-American, globalist woman.
The Obama marriage sounds like the Clinton’s just anorhr rung on the ladder.
I agree. All the First Lady had to do was to be herself. Like Laura Bush, she looked like a librarian in her role. That was her look. Michelle tried too hard and comparing herself to Jackie Kennedy. That wasn't it. Just my two cents.
the weird ideas in general or on this forum?
Who knew we had something in common? I can’t stand him either!!
She is such a pig.
