Christina Aguilera Says Her Relationship Didn’t Change After Marriage
I know in theory your relationship with a partner shouldn’t change after marriage, but virtually everyone I know says it does, so this is a little surprising, but it’s what ‘Burlesque’ star Christina Aguilera is saying. Then again, Christina and Jordan Bratman did date for five years before getting married 
“Marriage unites you and makes you official, but it didn’t change our relationship. All the things like wanting to work hard and play hard — they were always important to us,” she tells the October issue of Cosmopolitan UK. “We’ve been married for five years now, and I think the secret is in always keeping it interesting. You have to make time for yourselves.”
So how does Christina keep things exciting in her marriage?
“I leave little lipstick marks on the bathroom mirror for when he wakes up, and little notes written in lipstick on the mirror and in the shower,” she says. “Little notes, little cards, little ‘I love yous’ here and there, just to keep things fun and alive.”
That sounds cute. It also sounds like one more thing to clean up- LOL.
Christina admits marriage takes work.
“It’s important to be open to growing together, and when the going gets tough, you have to see how you can make your relationship more special and how you can spend more quality time together,” Aguilera says. “Everyone has rough patches, everybody grows and we all change. It’s important to give each other room to grow and to accept them for who they are.”
SO true! Christina also says motherhood (she and Jordan have a two-year–old son Max) has made her relationship stronger. That’s good to hear
