McGraw said in an interview with Great American Country, “You just have to love the skin you’re in, basically. You have to walk this life together.

4. Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos: This celebrity couple, who met on the set of All My Children, got married in 1996 and have three children. Ripa said her best love advice is, “Don’t get divorced after your first argument! I have a lot of friends that have one fight and that’s it, they get divorced. I go, ‘Wait a minute! Oh my gosh, you guys! Calm down! You’ll forget in three days what you were fighting about.'” The celeb also revealed in an interview on Watch What Happens Live that the secret to their marriage is that they have “lots of sex.”

5. Robin Meade and Tim Yeager: The CNN anchor and her long-term boyfriend married in 1993. The best love advice she has ever given is, “Gals, don’t marry someone for their looks. Sooner or later we all age and start to droop. Don’t marry someone for their position and don’t marry someone for money. Money comes and goes, and since when is that love? Marry someone because they make you laugh. Humor is always sexy. Besides, it’s awfully hard to get mad at someone while they’re making you laugh.”
