Trudie Styler: How Sting And I Keep Our Marriage Hot
Trudie Styler and husband Sting star
opposite each other in the play "Twin Spirits," which is making its West
Coast debut in L.A. Tuesday night, but Styler says working together
hasn't added any additional strain to their marriage. And when they need alone time, it's all about the hotel rendez-vouz!

"We've done this show a few times now, this is probably our sixth
performance," Styler tells TooFab of "Twin Spirits," which had a staging
in New York. "But we don't work together very often. I have really
nothing to do with the music business. I make films, so when we do work,
we love doing this."
In "Twin Spirits," Sting plays classical composer Robert Schumann, and Styler plays his pianist wife Clara.
Sting and Styler read the couple's letters, with accompaniment from a
six-member ensemble of musicians. "It's such a delightful piece, we
love the music. For someone who is completely a musical dunce, it was an
interesting thing to prepare for! The evening is told through her
letters, his letters and through their music, and through the songs that
they wrote."
As for how Styler and Sting keep their relationship going strong, she
tells TooFab, "Well, he goes on tour a lot, and there's something in
that. Having space from your partner sometimes is very good. I think you
have to keep it all fresh. So we have wonderful reunions in hotels, and
there's an inherent romance in that."
Styler adds, "The danger of a long term relationship is that it can become a
bit like an old shoe. We really like each other enough to want to have
conversations that may not be easy sometimes. It's been going on for thirty
years, so I hope it goes for another thirty!"

I think its tremendous that Sting & Trudies marriage goes from strength 2 strength. With the way these "Hollywood" marriages last these days Stings should be put out there as a perfect example
