Michelle Obama reveals how she and Barack Obama keep spark alive after 30 years together

Former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama takes a look back at more than three decades of married life and says an ideal date night with Barack Obama means time spent peacefully at home with good food, candles and conversation.

In an exclusive interview with People magazine, Michelle said, “We’ve been married for 32-33 years… I always forget. I’m sorry.” he said.

After years of working and living together, they said their most meaningful moments were simple and sincere.

“When we’re both happy for a date night, we’re at home. We just have a nice dinner, light candles, listen to music, talk. We don’t talk all day because we stay home all day, right? We work at home,” she added.

To keep things private, Michelle said she and Barack deliberately kept their conversation going until dinner. “When we’re going to have a special night, we say, ‘Don’t talk to me. Save it for dinner.’ ‘Kya Tumane Chichi Se Baat Ki?’ he says. “And I say, ‘Maine ki thi, but we won’t talk about it until date night.'”

The couple occasionally ventures out to Washington D.C. for dinner, but Michelle added: “I’m too old; I can’t go to dinner and a movie. I’ll just go see a movie. So, ‘Let’s pick one.'”

The interview comes months after Michelle denied speculation that she married the former US president in April. In April, she publicly denied breakup rumors, saying that when women choose independence or separation, people confuse it with problems in the relationship.

Rumors of discord began earlier this year when Barack Obama attended former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral without Michelle and then decided not to attend Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration. But the former First Lady made clear that it was just a matter of setting her personal boundaries.
