Channing Tatum is dishing on his experience working with his fiancée, actress and director Zoe Kravitz, and sharing some interesting advice for couples thinking about taking the plunge into marriage.
Love on Set
Tatum recently opened up about filming the movie “Blink Twice,” a thriller directed by Kravitz. While they weren’t romantically involved at the time of filming, working together on the project seems to have brought them closer. Tatum says the experience “cemented” their relationship, using a word that means it made their bond even stronger.
Toughest Project Yet
Filming “Blink Twice” wasn’t all sunshine and roses. Tatum admits it was one of the most challenging movies he’s ever been a part of. There were many reasons for this, but he doesn’t go into the specific details.
Test of Strength
Despite the difficulties, Tatum sees the upside of working on a tough project with someone you love. He says that going through this challenge together helped them see each other’s strengths and how well they work as a team.
Marriage Boot Camp… Kind Of
This experience with Kravitz led Tatum to some interesting advice for couples who are thinking about getting married. He suggests that couples considering marriage find a difficult project to work on together. This could be anything creative, like writing a song, making a short film, or even something practical, like renovating a room in your house.
Why the Hard Way?
The key to Tatum’s advice isn’t just picking any project. He says the project should be a real challenge. The idea is that by facing difficulties together, you’ll learn how well you communicate, solve problems, and support each other.
More Than Just Surviving
Of course, just surviving a tough project together isn’t enough. The real test is if you can actually enjoy the process. Tatum says that if you can find a way to have fun and laugh together, even when things get stressful, that’s a great sign for your relationship.
Beyond the Silver Screen
Tatum’s advice isn’t just for Hollywood couples. It applies to anyone who’s thinking about getting married. Marriage is a big commitment, and it’s important to know that you can work together as a team through thick and thin.
Is Marriage Right for You?
Here are some questions to consider before you take the leap:
- Can you communicate openly and honestly with each other?
- Are you willing to compromise?
- Do you share similar values and goals for the future?
- Can you laugh together, even when times are tough?
Wedding Bells or Warning Bells?
If working on a challenging project together exposes problems in your relationship, it might be a sign that you need to do some more thinking before getting married.
Love is a Journey
Marriage is a marathon, not a sprint. By working together on a difficult project, you can get a taste of what married life might be like.
Remember, communication is key!
Talking openly and honestly with your partner throughout the project will help you learn and grow together.
So, what do you think? Is Channing Tatum onto something with his unique relationship advice?
Whether you decide to tackle a creative project together or not, remember that strong communication, teamwork, and a good sense of humor are essential ingredients for a happy and lasting relationship.
