"I know something about marriage," Sting said. "I've been married to Trudie for 27 years now. People say to me, 'How has it lasted this long?' I say, 'Well, it's kind of a miracle, but we don't take it for granted.'

"We're friends, too," he continued. "We love each other, but we actually like each other — and that's an important distinction there.

"Love is passion and all of that stuff, but actually liking somebody and enjoying someone's company is something slightly different, and it lasts longer.

"So you can have both, and I think that's important. Be married to your best friend."

"We laugh a lot!I think that’s important in a marriage. He has my back; he’s my champion."
