I mean you said you would have loved if your parents were married for 19 years,\u201d Bush Hager added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have never ever known my parents to even be together,\u201d Sylvester explained. \u201cTo get 19 months of seeing that would have been a joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sylvester went on to express that he believes sometimes two people just have to go in different directions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember when I was younger and I would hear that people would break up because they \u2018grew apart.\u2019 I always thought that was some kind of excuse. Like, almost like it was B.S. But growing up and being older now, I realize that people really do kind of grow apart and it\u2019s okay. It really is okay,\u201d Sylvester said.<\/p>\n<p>Bush Hager then explained that looking at bridal magazines as a kid made being married seem fun and glamorous, but really it\u2019s about putting in the work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomebody gave me this advice and it\u2019s true and Henry and I sort of do this: you have to remind yourself everyday, like, \u2018I\u2019ve chosen you, I\u2019m going to continue to choose you,\u2019 it doesn\u2019t always look glamorous,\u201d Bush Hager said of her own marriage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarriage is hard, the ceremony is the easy part. It\u2019s putting up with each other and learning to grow and learn from your mistakes,\u201d one commenter added, agreeing with Bush Hager.<\/p>\n<p>However, others staunchly disagreed with their takes in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, 19 years is NOT a successful marriage. They are right in the middle of growing a family with children. People are just selfish,\u201d another user commented.<\/p>\n<p>This discussion comes as rumors swirl about what the exact cause of Kidman and Urban\u2019s split really was.<\/p>\n<p>In a new October 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/keith-urban-nicole-kidman-divorce-is-turning-dramatic-exclusive-source-11821923\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>People<\/em><\/a> exclusive, a source shared that \u201ctheir split is turning dramatic\u201d and that Kidman \u201cwanted to save their marriage and believed that she could, but it seems [Urban\u2019s] already moved on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the couple\u2019s divorce proceedings continue, time will tell what else will be revealed about their marriage and breakup, as well as how they will continue to co-parent their two daughters together.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/jenna-bush-hager-justin-sylvester-discuss-marriage-family-divorce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As news of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban\u2018s divorce has spread, so have people\u2019s differing takes on the couple\u2019s 19-year relationship.
