Barbara Eden has been married to her third husband, Jon Eicholtz, for 30 years. The couple got married in 1991 and has been going strong ever since! She revealed a few secrets to a lasting marriage. For one, she said compromise is key.
She said, “You don’t necessarily have to like the same things. Because we certainly don’t. I don’t play golf. I don’t like to watch baseball… and he loves to watch the Angels. But I do because I love him. And I like him. So I’ll watch with him.”
