Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith recently shared the secret of their successful marriage.
The two have been married to each other since 1997 and the couple believes that the secret to a happy marriage is to simply stick with it even through the tough patches.
"Just stay in it," Will said in an interview with Extra on the Golden Globes red carpet, according to The Spec.
"Stay in it. Keep on trucking," Jada added. "Marriages go through many different cycles and stages and it gets better and better and better and you will go through some tough patches some really bad ones that are going to make you want to quit, but don't!"
The 47-year-old was nominated for the Golden Globes award for his performance as pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu in the award-winning flick "Concussion."
Furthermore, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith celebrated their 18th year of marriage on New Year's Eve.
While Will and Jada celebrate almost two decades together, the couple believed that they could go strong and last a lifetime as the two remain solid throughout the years.
The actor credited their almost 20-year marriage to not quitting and admitted that it has been ''the most difficult, excruciating thing'' that he has ever taken on but insisted it was all worth it.
"We've been married 20 years and we've been asking ourselves [what's the secret to marriage] and really at the end of the day it's just not quitting," the actor told Entertainment Tonight. "You can't expect it to be easy, it's like our marriage was the most difficult, excruciating thing that we have ever taken on in our lives. And, you know, were just not quitters."
"We only ever worked on ourselves individually and then presented ourselves to one another better than we were previously."
