Bill and Hillary Clinton have certainly had plenty of marital problems during their more than five-decade marriage, but it's their “communication” that's kept them together.
At least, that's what Hillary thinks as she discusses her story alongside her husband, the former president, during his appearance for her. iHeart Podcast “You and Me Both” on Tuesday from her home in Chappaqua, New York.
After embarrassing public scandals that revealed acts of infidelity by Bill Clinton, (think Monica Lewinsky and possible visits to Epstein Island), the former secretary of state revealed that she has “no regrets” about staying in their marriage.
“So welcome to the show, Bill. And I think this is an interesting first, in a way, because we've had conversations big and small about literally everything for over 50 years. But we've never done this before where we sitting down to record a conversation, just the two of us,” Hillary said opening the podcast and noting the pair's “endless conversation”.
After debating topics such as immigration, climate change, funding the war in Ukraine and the political divide in America, the pair turned to themselves.
“You know, like I said, we've been having a conversation for over 50 years. And, you know, part of the real core of our relationship, our marriage, I think has been that we started a conversation and never stopped,” Hillary Clinton said.
“In good and difficult times, in happy times and in sad times, that doesn't mean we don't get frustrated and upset with each other because that's human nature. But we always kept talking. You know, I'm not giving relationship advice. Everyone has to find their own way. But I think our ability to keep talking is one of the reasons we're still sitting here together,” the failed Democratic presidential candidate added.
“Yeah, me too,” her husband agreed.
“I think one of the gifts you get from investing time in someone for a long time is what you don't have to say. What you see and know without anyone saying anything. You know, there's no perfect manual for life . You have to figure it out as you go along. And you always have to decide whether the commitment you make in any way is being fulfilled, that the bonds of love and the benefits of love outweigh the burdens and frustrations. And that is a decision no one can make for you,” the 42nd president said.
He expressed his distaste for “hate-based politics”, adding: “I have always believed that we should continue to try to understand each other and hold each other's hand.”
“I think if it starts with Hillary and me or somebody else's family or the children or grandchildren that we have, it's a gift to be alive. It brings burdens, it brings challenges. But I think it's important to just remember that,” he added the former president.
“I'm actually quite optimistic. I always have been,” he said, “But I've been very concerned at this point in history that our ability to grow in cooperation and understanding is somewhat in doubt.”
For all the sentimentality the couple offered on the podcast, social media users seemed unconvinced of their sincerity.

No… the reason they are still married is because they both know where the bodies are buried.
