On the October 1 episode of IMO—which Michelle Obama co-hosts with her older brother, Craig Robinson—the siblings discussed the realities of marriage, emphasizing that even strong relationships require work and support.
"I try to be honest with the world, with the people who follow me and Barack, to our girls, because, you know, people look at our marriage as the ideal," the former first lady—who shares daughters Malia Obama, 27, and Sasha Obama, 24, with Barack Obama—said. "In Instagram world, you see two loving people doing a hard thing in the world, always on stage, giving each other a hug after a big speech and making it look easy."
She continued: "A lot of young people could look at that and go, 'I want a marriage like Michelle and Barack.' And it's like, well, let me talk about what marriage is, because it's even when it looks good, even when it's great, it's hard. And so I think it's important because it's very easy to quit on a marriage."
During Wednesday's show, Michelle Obama noted that she and her husband have "done couples therapy."
"Even in the best marriages, getting help, having periods where you need support, you need to think things through, is a normal part of making it through," she shared.
"It's hard for Barack and I to just be in the world unobserved," the 61-year-old said. "As a couple, so much of your interaction just happens because you two are experiencing the world together, sitting in a park and watching life go by, stopping at a cafe and getting a cup of coffee."

Not every guy wants to take it up the bung from a tranny...
We don’t want to know, Michelle.
Who, exactly, has been saying this, for her to “caution”? Who even knows what their marriage is to know whether they want it or not?
Unsolicited advice interview.
I was thinking the same thing. Most want Coke Classic not the “New Coke”
What an inane comment; this grifter is not only stupid, but repulsively ugly. Keep your marriage secrets to yourself, no one needs to know or ought to know.
1) This deserved a barf alert, for sure.
2) The more she talks, the more it seems clear that she has no ambition (nor ability) to run for office, so that is a positive.
Let me tell you how special our marriage is because we are super special and unique in the world.
There are not many two term Presidents - so she is correct there.
🤮🤮🤮
Advice for homos that think they are fooling the neighbors?
Ideal never even enters my mind, I think what kind of woman degrades her husband like she does absolute zero respect. Her daughters are a mess , no I don’t look to this family and think ideal.
They just never go away, do they?
nailed it...
Big Mike nailed Bammy...
Every man fears having a wife turn against him, openly criticize him to others and analyze his alleged faults.
One of the reasons many put off marriage. Someone said divorce is the closest America comes to legalized warfare.
I’m so thankful my wife was so wonderful. She would never dream of putting me down to someone else. Despite my flaws.
Put up with me from 1973 to 2022.
Thinks he’s making a mistake in thinking people are looking to hers as an ideal marriage. That said, I’ve heard a number of clips of her slagging him in her podcast. I nearly feel sorry for him dealing with her perpetual pissiness
“I try to be honest with the world...”
Then tell the world how and why you lost your law license.

To do this on public media is just trashy. But I don’t care. I hate both of them, so to have their dirty laundry aired is good for my soul.
