The couple's bond

Reflecting on her marriage, Tina told Women's Health: "We met when I was 24. He's nine years older than I am. It was actually a really great age difference because he was much more mature than someone my own age. 

"There was no game playing or 'I'll call you tomorrow'," she continued. "It was a very easy, respectful relationship from the beginning, and it very quickly and easily became quite solid."

He added: "We never had to deal with any of this, but: adultery. Just looking at examples from other people's lives, we know that anything like that, messing around, is just such a complete 'No' to her. She has her principles and she sticks to her principles more than anybody I’ve ever met in my life."
