Rob Lowe and his wife's love story 

The love story between the two goes back to 1983, when they were set up on a blind date. However, the couple didn't begin a romantic relationship until 1989, when they worked together on Rob's 1990 thriller Bad Influence

The couple wed on July 22, 1991, and on an episode of Gwyneth Paltrow's podcast back in 2019, Rob said: "It really is all about who you pick… I always say to people, 'If there's any way to marry your best friend, do it.' Cause the rest of it comes and goes, and I was very lucky there."

Rob and Sheryl have two sons; Matthew, a lawyer, and John, an actor and writer. In a 2014 interview with Haute Living, Rob talked about how his life changed after meeting Sheryl. "I had met my now wife, Sheryl, and was attempting my first try at monogamy — which was not really in my nature at the time — and I wasn’t able to do it," he said.

"It made me examine how I was living my life. That led me to getting sober, which led me to changing my life and giving me everything I now have."

Rob Lowe and Sheryl Berkoff's secret to a happy marriage 

Rob insists that therapy has helped cement their relationship and he encourages the entire family to go. 

"The one thing, though, that has been a part of our family is the notion of therapy as a sort of proactive, non-shaming [practice], like a trainer," he told AOL

"We think of going to therapy or talking to a therapist, it's literally no different from a chiropractor." Rob also says "forgiveness" and "heat" are imperative to a successful marriage. 

Talking on the iHeartPodcast Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi, he said: "People say marriage takes work. I'm not sure if it takes work, but what it does take is forgiveness, and being really cognizant of what hill you're willing to die on."

Rob continued: "I do believe you need the heat for sure. If you don't have the heat – and that's a chemical thing – I mean I still have it with Sheryl, you gotta keep the heat. "That comes and goes too, there are times when you are like, 'Nah.' And then there are times when you are wild for somebody."
