9 Portraits of Roy Marten and Ana Maria Reveal the Secret to Their 40-Year Marital Harmony, the Key is to Never Listen to What Others Say

For Ana, hearing negative things about her husband is not something to take seriously. She believes that not all information circulating is true. "So if there is any news, if a friend gives me bad news, I do not listen about my husband," she explained.

As a wife, she feels it is important to always defend her partner and not be easily influenced by what others say. For her, a strong marriage must be supported by complete trust. "I am Roy Marten's number one defender," said Ana, then laughed.

Ana also emphasized that she does not want to be friends with people who like to spread bad news about her husband. According to her, it is better to maintain a positive environment than to constantly hear unpleasant things. "If you want to be friends with me, don't spread bad news about my husband," she said.

Roy himself has a unique way to calm the atmosphere when gossip starts to circulate. He believes that maintaining household harmony is more important than debating something whose truth is unclear. "First, I have to make her laugh first. Not intrusive," said Roy Marten.

Meanwhile, Ana prefers not to ask too many questions when there are unpleasant issues. According to her, asking too many questions will only complicate her thoughts. "I prefer not to ask, rather than adding to my sins. Hahaha," she said while laughing.

Roy also added that sometimes, not knowing something can actually be the best way to maintain a relationship. He believes that a relaxed attitude and not asking too many questions can avoid misunderstandings. 

"This is an example for wives, okay? Hahaha. Don't ask your husband too many questions. If your husband is me, you will only get into more trouble. Hahaha," joked Roy Marten.

Ana also agrees with that principle and prefers not to seek out problems that could disturb her peace of mind. According to her, maintaining happiness is more important than being busy finding out unnecessary things. "I don't want to ask," she stated firmly.

Ana believes that the key to happiness is to stay focused on the positive aspects of the relationship. As long as there is nothing that disturbs their togetherness, Ana chooses to live life filled with happiness. "For us, yes. I don't want to talk about unpleasant things. Let's just have fun, let's go with it," she concluded.
