Mark Hamill has been married to his wife, Marilou Hamill, for 47 years, and the couple recently revealed their secrets on how they have stayed happy in their relationship.
"Don't sweat the little stuff," Marilou, 70, said of how they have remained a solid in an interview with People published on Sunday, August 31. "And also, go in knowing you're not going to change anyone. So you have to accept their quirks and their behavior."
After Marilou made the comment, Mark, 73, jokingly chimed in, "What quirks?"
The Star Wars actor said he agreed with everything Marilou said, adding that "acceptance" and "communication" are essential parts of a successful marriage.
"I just think that when you find the right one, the odds are against you," Mark continued. "But if you do get lucky, you just have to hang on and be grateful that you were able to find that one."
Mark and Marilou met in the mid '70s at a dental office, where she worked as a dental hygienist. After they fell in love, the couple got marriage during a wedding ceremony in December 1978 at their Malibu home. They went on to welcome three kids: Nathan Hamill, 46, Griffin Hamill, 42, and Chelsea Hamill, 37.
There's no denying that the couple is still madly in love, and Mark shared a tribute to Marilou on their wedding anniversary in December 2024. "On This Day in 1978: I married my dental hygienist, Marilou York," he wrote alongside one throwback photo and one recent snapshot of the couple. "She cleaned my teeth & the rest … is history."
