Nick and Vanessa Lachey share their "Golden Rule" for a Happy Marriage after almost 14 Years
Nick and
Vanessa Lachey
are on the verge of 14 years of marriage—and as they say, one easy but effective "golden rule" has assisted in maintaining their connection solid over the years.
In a recent episode of Richer Lives, SoFi's branded financial podcast that premiered on Tuesday, May 27, Nick, 51, opened up about the key lesson he and Vanessa, 44, prioritize to maintain both their marriage and professional partnership.
"Just the best you can do is not take your work home with you. Which is difficult if you work with your spouse," said Nick. "I believe we do a really great job of doing that, for the most part, but it's not easy to work with your spouse sometimes."
The pair, who started dating in 2006 and got married in 2011, have been co-presenting Netflix's Love Is Blind since its launch five years ago. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable, but Nick confesses it's not a smooth ride behind the scenes.
"Sometimes you come to work and there's a fight at home that you carried with you to work and you don't want that to spill over," he said. "And sometimes there's fights at work that spill over [onto home life]."
Their solution? Compartmentalization.
"Try and keep it as separate as you can," Nick emphasized. "You're here doing a job. Yes, you're a married couple… but our golden rule is: don't bring work home, and don't bring home to work."

The couple, who share three children—Camden, 12, Brooklyn, 10, and Phoenix, 8—also happen to share the same birthday, November 9. Vanessa celebrated the occasion last year with a sweet photo of the two sharing a kiss. Though she admitted on the podcast that their routines have shifted since relocating from Hawaii back to Los Angeles in August (Vanessa previously filmed NCIS: Hawai'i), she's hopeful they'll fall back into their rhythm soon.
"I do not want the time we have for intimacy and closeness to become dominated by logistics, but that's our life," she said. "I think we're entering an era of having to have a hump day and a logistics day."
Nick and Vanessa also candidly discussed couples therapy and the need for relationship work, especially after being together for almost two decades.
"Anything worth having takes effort," Nick replied. "To me, that's a tenet of life, and marriage is no exception. There's no fault in that. There's no perfect person. There's just your person."

A Widow's Game review: New Netflix thriller based on a shocking true crime story lacks bite
People are truly crazy in love, or they are just too good at pretending. People are also capable of the worst, even if they seem to be ticking all the right boxes from a distance. The new Netflix entry, A Widow's Game (La Viuda Negra in Spanish), tells the story of just the two most easy-going people who commit a serious crime. It is based on the real-life story of the murder of Antonio Navarro Cerdán, a 36-year-old industrial engineer, after which his widow, María Jesús Moreno Cantó, known as Maje, fell under the scanner. Even if you do take a quick second to Google what really happened to Antonio and what propelled it, this new film is worthy enough for your time. It just doesn't smell like dirt enough. (Also read: Sirens review: Julianne Moore leads a possible wellness cult in campy new Netflix show) The film begins like a standard investigative police procedural with the introduction of Eva (Carmen Machi), who is the well-known inspector of the local Homicide Group. Antonio has been stabbed in the garage, the blood is all over the place. Eva is told the intensity of those multiple hits resembles that of a man- it seems the murderer kept prepared to kill. Eva nods and proceeds with business-like propensity: she has also got to uphold the impressive track record of her team. Soon, the news reaches Antonio's wife, Maje (Ivana Baquero), who is called in for questioning. This definitely isn't robbery, there's something too concise and incisive about it all. Maje is called in for questioning, and some of her lies are caught at the very beginning. But this is not about the lies per se; it is more about the cover-up and why it went in this nasty direction. From here on, the film makes a strategic narrative choice, shifting the perspective from Eva to Maje and then to someone else entirely. It is a move that ultimately kills the intrigue and, more bafflingly, the nuance of these characters. The sleek production design and fuss-free mise en scène begin to itch. Even as the focus shifts to multiplicities, the film does not really take a breath to care about these perspectives. There's a certain distance between character and subjectivity that makes the film feel polished on all fronts. But this is a story of a ruthless, passion-filled crime, one that demands push and pull, a certain brashness to it. A Widow's Game feels morbid without the stench of death, and hollow in the way it avoids confronting the banality of this evil. Even as Maje goes through a range of conflicting emotions and dilemmas, the film somehow finds a way to conclude that it will be taken care of. It all comes down to the cast, and thankfully, they inject some vitality into their performances. Tristán Ulloa is the standout, so convincing and quietly terrifying in his silences that pop up quite late into the narrative. Carmen Machi adds the much-needed concern and heart into this cold, sanctimonious treatment. As Maje, Baquero is in fine form, but we never really get to meet the woman behind the walls of her slowly crumbling household. Later, when she visits her husband's parents to seek a pragmatic response, it is shocking to see how little we, the viewer, really do care about her immediate actions. She is no Gone Girl. A Widow's Game is a neat and polished dramatisation of a messy and radical crime. Perhaps that's the point the film wants to make, that it does not matter much because the root of all of it is just too vile to care about. It denies involvement, a lack of provocation in this unforgivable act of deceit. Mostly, it lacks the heart to dig deeper into the wound that it capitalises upon. A Widow's Game is available to watch on Netflix.
