In a 2022 interview with PEOPLE, the 82-year-old revealed that the idea of having a therapist for both him and his wife was pitched to him by one of his on-screen love interests, Connie Sellecca, who co-starred with him on the American primetime series, Hotel.

“Connie Sellecca taught me something that I never did but was the greatest idea ever,” Brolin told the news outlet. “Call a shrink six months before you’re married, and both of you sit there with him. So that once you’re married, if you ever need a tune-up, it’s not an issue with one of the people. [Otherwise] it’s always one of the people say[ing], ‘We need to go see such and such,’ and the other one says, ‘I’m not going,’ and that ruins everything.'”

Brolin further explained that the advice worked perfectly for Sellecca, which was why he also decided to take it. “When she got married for the second time, she said, ‘Okay, buster, there’s not even a chance until we sit with a shrink … for six months,'” he recalled to PEOPLE. “‘You can go once a week, once a month.’ She didn’t care as long as they’d broken the ice to do that and would continue. They’ve been married for 35 years.”
