Barbra Streisand and James Brolin, A Love Story
The two originally first met on a blind date and the Brolin recalls that he was instantly charmed by Barbra’s honesty. “I met him at a dinner and expected a bearded mountain-man type, and he had cut off all his hair and was clean-shaven,” She tells W Magazine. “I asked him, “Who screwed up your hair?” He later told me that’s when he fell in love with me. My fella likes to hear the truth, which is unusual.”
Their true secret to a successful marriage
Brolin, on the other hand, believes astrology plays a big part in their romance. “If you look at Cancer and Taurus — not that I’m into astrology, but I’ll click on that if I’m on the computer — almost every time, it says, ‘You guys are magic together,’” he tells Fox News. “‘You’re so opposite that you’re able to work it out.’ And that’s what makes a great team.”
So, as for the secret to a successful marriage? Barbra says that kindness and honesty are equally the #1 factors to sustaining a successful marriage. “Loving people share absolutely everything with each other,” she says.
How they keep the spark alive 21 years later
The two even have a way of keeping the spark alive 20+ years into their marriage. Barbra says she always feels welcome when she comes home. “I always get notes, ‘Hurry home!’ When I get there, there’s always something kind of great waiting for me, some plan, and I try to reciprocate.”
