Cameron Diaz and husband Benji Madden have shared their secrets to maintaining a strong marriage. The couple prioritizes their relationship every day, even when it means giving up old routines or doing things that feel 'weird' compared to most Hollywood marriages.
Diaz has explained that being softer with her body has helped her treat her marriage better. She admitted to pushing herself too hard with workouts and extreme diets in the past, which made her more stressed, impatient, and quick to fight with Benji.
Madden has also made significant changes, walking away from his old rock-star lifestyle. He has cut back on late nights, heavy drinking, and partying to be present for Diaz and their family.
The couple had messy divorces before they met and decided not to repeat the same mistakes. Diaz emphasized the importance of 100 percent commitment to the marriage and family, even when they're mad at each other.
Benji's main rule is to make Diaz happy, and a friend of the couple noted that Benji changed everything to support Diaz, which is what makes their relationship different.
