Douglas circa 1975 (Public Domain) |
It’s all too easy to take one’s spouse for granted. However, it’s
a lot harder to admit doing so.
When Michael Douglas became guilty of neglecting his marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones, it began falling apart. This
finally led to a split between them.
Sometimes it takes almost losing someone to rediscover what you’ve had. Hindustan Times reports that
Douglas now admits having taken Zeta-Jones for granted.
Douglas stated, "When you are younger you care what other people think… You waste a lot of energy on strangers to make a good impression.”
This can lead to a turning away from one’s family. Douglas said
that the hardest part is owning up to this.
He explained, “First you have to admit that you made a mistake, then dealing with it is easy.”
And dealing with it is what both Douglas and Zeta-Jones (it’s never just one person’s responsibility) have been doing… They are now back together, putting in the effort that it takes to make things work harmoniously.
