Human Nature singer reveals his secret to a successful marriage
The singer of Aussie band Human Nature has opened up about his 23 year marriage.
Andrew Tierney has been married to his wife Heather for 23 years, admitting that the success of his marriage stems from forgiveness.
He said the inspiration came from seeing elderly couples who remain together after several years of marriage.
"It's not all going to be great times," he told 9Honey.
"I remember reading something about, if you ever see an elderly couple and they are still in love, your first thought should be what have they forgiven each other for. That's the secret, forgiving, and to keep loving.”
Andrew confessed that it wasn’t smooth-sailing from when the pair tied the knot, with Heather fearing he would put his music career ahead of the marriage.
"Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes. There was one time when Heather thought I would chose my career over her, there have been so many things, but we have chosen to love each other through it all and forgive each other.
"You've got to be there for each other. When you say your wedding vows you say 'for better or for worse' and it's getting though the 'worse' that actually keeps people together."
The pair wed in 1999 and share a daughter Violette Faith, who was born in November 2016.
