Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis reveal their 40-year marriage secret.

Jamie Lee Curtis has something special: a 40-year marriage.

In 1984, four months after meeting, actress Sally Field married Christopher Guest.

The actress who starred in "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was questioned about the secret to her enduring marriage.

"Curtis stated on Entertainment Tonight's red carpet after winning an Emmy for "The Bear" that she wouldn't be leaving."

Suddenly, you and your partner want to hate each other, but the next day, it's a sunny day. The dog or your child does something cute, and you look at each other and say, "Aw, gosh." Then you're on a different track.

"The secret is that you will hate each other, and not leaving or allowing that hatred to cause you to make a regrettable choice is the key."

After they got married, Curtis and Guest adopted daughters Annie and Ruby.

"I think perseverance, patience, gentleness and a really good dose of hatred." — Jamie Lee Curtis

In 2018, she revealed to Good Housekeeping that her husband and she are opposites and have been for 33 years, and they always will be.

Laurie Strode, portrayed by Curtis, catapulted him to fame in John Carpenter's acclaimed horror movie "Halloween."

Debra Hill, the film's producer, stated that she chose Curtis for the role due to her mother's reputation as a horror icon, as it would generate significant promotional benefits for the movie.

Janet Leigh, her mother, gained fame for her part in Alfred Hitchcock's iconic horror movie, "Psycho."
