Pink Reveals What Keeps Her Marriage Together

American singer Pink shares what has kept her 14-year marriage to Carey Hart together. The 41-year-old shared some of wisdom in an Instagram post featuring a sweet photo of the couple embracing and laughing. She described her husband as her “favorite sweet little dirtball” in the post.

“He and I have been at this a long time, and it is our relentless and stubborn idealism that keeps us together,” she wrote. Pink described marriage as “awful, wonderful, comfort and rage.”

“It is boring, terrifying, and a total nail biter,” Pink continued. “It is loving another fallible creature while trying to love yourself. It is a lifetime of coming back to the table.”

“People laugh at us because we’re either fighting or laughing,” Pink admitted. “They roll their eyes when we talk about therapy. But I’ll tell you what. It’s worth it. All of it. Even when it isn’t.”

 My friend @jbpitts2 took this photo of us. He’s still my favorite sweet little dirtball. He and I have been at this a long time, and it is our relentless and stubborn idealism that keeps us together. Marriage is awful, wonderful, comfort and rage. It is boring, terrifying, and a total nail biter. It is loving another fallible creature while trying to love yourself. It is a lifetime of coming back to the table. People laugh at us because we’re either fighting or laughing. They roll their eyes when we talk about therapy. But I’ll tell you what. It’s worth it. All of it. Even when it isn’t. Therapy isn’t for weak people or hippies or liberals. It’s for broken people that want to be whole. It’s for runaways that want a family. It’s a lesson on how to sit down and listen. How to love yourself so that the other person can, too. I love you babe. I’m grateful we made it to this photo @hartluck

The singer, who has previously spoken about undergoing marriage counselling, went on to note how important therapy is in keeping her marriage together.

“Therapy isn’t for weak people or hippies or liberals. It’s for broken people that want to be whole,” Pink explained. “It’s for runaways that want a family. It’s a lesson on how to sit down and listen. How to love yourself so that the other person can, too.”

Despite their many ups and downs, Pink and Hart have stayed together and have two kids: daughter Willow, 9, and son Jameson, 3.

The couple’s celebrity pals praised Pink for her honesty, with Justin Timberlake writing in the comments, “BEAUTIFUL!” Reese Witherspoon added, “Well said,” while Selma Blair wrote, “Perfectly said. Congratulations dirtballs.”
