  1. > George then recalled how he told King, 70, in a previous interview that he and Amal, 47, had never had an argument. “I remember we were here with you once before, and I remember we said we’d never had an argument. We still haven’t,” he said. “We’re trying to find something to fight about!”

    > “I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman,” added George. “I feel as if I hit the jackpot. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think I’m the luckiest man in the world. So it’s great.”

  3. I would be surprised if this wasn’t true. How long was he a bachelor for? And he only married when he felt it is forever. The older man get (along with my husband) the less we argue and bicker. It just isn’t worth it. Unless there is something really big that happens, we have been through the hardest years of our relationship.

    Also, my youngest is the youngest by 7 years and he is 13. I am a different mom to him than my other three. I was older, more mature and less scared. So I can imagine that is also true in our relationship. What is worth fighting about?

    I am not saying that is true in all relationships because I am sure people really have things to argue about. And if you do, I say argue it out.

    But just thinking about George and Amal, I am also sure Amal has seen some things in life that put a lot into perspective.

    Anyhow, good for them!

  4. This reminds me of my parents who say they “rarely argue” but actually just never talk about their true feelings and can’t communicate disagreements like adults so they bicker and eye roll behind each other’s backs. Not a flex.

  5. For the people in the comments: arguing ≠ disagreeing.

    You can disagree with someone without arguing.

  6. …that he’s won.

    PS – old married guy joke.

    PSS – 30 years in October for me.

  7. Me and my partner don’t really “argue” bc we ~communicate~

  8. Genuinely don’t know what my wife and I would argue about if all of our needs were met.

    I’m sure they still exist, but maybe this comment will help others understand that these two people might as well be aliens compared to us.

  9. He’s basically saying they talk things out and listen to each other rather than get into it and raising their voices.

  10. As a child who grew up in a house with constant arguments… I have been incredibly intentional never to argue with my significant others in the past. Disagree? Absolutely. But never argue. That shit traumatizes children and it’s so fucking unhealthy.

  11. He’s 63. Hes old enough to know what he wants and articulate it properly. I doubt he’s chasing women. He married a beauty who is charming, smart and accomplished. They have tons of money.

    Im not surprised they dont have arguments.

  14. 10 years of never worrying about money and medical care reduces arguments.

  15. This. After 41 years of marriage, I can count on one hand how many arguments we have had. Disagreements almost on a daily basis. You can disagree respectfully without a shouting match.

  16. I believe that

    They both have fulfilling careers, financially secure and nannies/help around the house to raise their kids

    My husband and I didn’t argue much until we had kids (8 years after the marriage)

    Our daily stresses now revolve around juggling full time work, one toddler who is currently jealous of the baby, endless house chores so we are basically just tired and cranky with each other

  17. When you got enough money what is there to argue about

  18. “My wife!” Clooney is quoted saying in a genuinely enthusiastic tone.

  19. She is a brilliant and accomplished woman. The only thing coming out of George Clooney’s mouth should be, “Yes, ma’am.”

  20. Arguments are not all yelling and flared tempers, you know – an argument is just where you discuss a disagreement and that can look like a lot of things.

  21. She’s a lawyer and knows how to effectively negotiate.

  22. Must be nice living a life where you’re never worried about your own personal survival.

  23. I’m guessing it’s because they are so busy with their own projects they spend a lot of time apart and they have staff and money to take care of all the everyday problems that would cause regular people to argue

  25. I love how in love he is. She’s gorgeous and intelligent.

  26. That’s poor people talk. What problems could they possibly be discussing that affects them at all.

  27. Why do I have to think about Invasion of the body snatchers immediately?

    Sincerely

    Skeletor 💜

  28. My parents never really argued. They got along well and handled disagreements in a really similar, measured manner.

  29. Not every couple does the “arguing” thing as it is commonly understood.

    I had an eye opening class in college, it was an elective I had to take to fulfill some general elective requirements, I didn’t take it seriously at all–was a Communications class, but ended up learning a life lesson one day in that class. One day the professor, a short and very fiery Italian man, was talking about when he married his wife, and the first time he got angry at her. He said he was **looking forward to** their first fight–because he came from a family where people get into arguments and loudly express themselves about it.

    He was careful to mention that his family always had a lot of love for each other, but just had very bombastic personalities, they were loud people and had loud arguments, but never went to bed angry.

    Anyway, he starts yelling at this wife expecting her to give it back, instead she just gets upset and is like “why are you yelling?” They have a talk and he realizes–her family wasn’t like his, the parents never argued, or if they did never in sight or hearing of the rest of the family. It was an important lesson for him that not all couples are the same, and there isn’t intrinsically a right or wrong there, but people have different styles of communicating. For some people it is normal and healthy to “hash it out” in an argument, but not every person or every couple is like that.

    Now, I do think the flipside is a couple committed to never arguing might instead “suppress” things to an unhealthy level, I do think there has to be **some** escape valve where you can discuss frustrations, but I don’t think every couple has to argue. (I argue with my wife FWIW, I’m closer to my Italian professor than to his wife in personality, and my wife even more so than me lol.)

  30. 🤔how many consecutive days in a row are they really ever in the same place at the same time.
    A normal/typical married/common law couple are together everyday.
    How would their relationship be if they resided in a 1,000 square foot bungalow, working a 8-12 hr job just making ends meet…

  32. She’s a lawyer George. You aren’t winning one. Don’t even try.

  34. I guess my wife and i are the extreme example. We have been married 7 years and together in our 20 years together. We have only had one real argument.

    It was like 1am we were flying out to a family engagement in a few hours. When with the last load of laundry i washed. I also didn’t see her cell phone with all of our boarding passes, and other reservations for the trip. It wasn’t a good scene. She totally lost it. Which was understandable.

    But thats it. One argument in a 20 year relationship.

  35. That’s no fun at all. I’ve been married 32 years and half the fun is the bickering.

  36. My parents were married 30 years. Never had a single damn argument. They would compromise on the spot. Been with my husband 11 years and not a single serious argument.

  37. Just wanna mention, my partner and I have been together 4 years and have never had an argument. I wouldn’t even say we’ve had a disagreement.
    And no, we arent wealthy. We just aren’t the types to fight and we tend to be on the same page about pretty much everything.
    Honestly, he’s the most emotionally intelligent & available man I’ve ever met and I finally feel like I’m emotionally looked after and understood in the way that i always have my partners but never gotten in return.

  38. Space. Put them in a studio apartment for a year and they’ll be fighting like cats and dogs.

  39. He’d lose every argument. Shes an international affairs lawyer, hes just some Hollywood actor.
