Rob Lowe has expressed his eternal \u201cgratitude\u201d for being married to his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, as they celebrated their wedding anniversary with a heartwarming social media post.\n\n\n\n

Lowe, 59, wrote: \u201cToday marks 32 years married to this beautiful, inspiring, nurturing, strong, industrious, sexy, and wonderfully unique woman.\u201d
The couple \u2013 who wed on July 22, 1991 \u2013 have two sons, Matthew, 30, and John, 28.

During an episode of the iHeart podcast Table for Two, the actor candidly shared some of the secrets that have contributed to their successful three-decade marriage to host Bruce Bozzi.\n\n\n\n

Lowe emphasized the importance of choosing the right partner, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s all about who you choose\u2026 Sheryl was and is my best friend. So if you marry for anything other than the fact that it\u2019s your best friend, you\u2019re at a disadvantage from the jump. \u2018Cause that will sustain when the other stuff ebbs and flows.\u201d\n\n\n\n

He also highlighted the significance of forgiveness in a lasting relationship, explaining: \u201cPeople say marriage takes work. I\u2019m not sure if it takes work\u2026 But what it does take is forgiveness. And being really cognizant of what hill you\u2019re willing to die on.\u201d

The St. Elmo\u2019s Fire actor concluded by acknowledging that every relationship has its challenges, but emphasized the importance of sticking together during tough times. He said: \u201cI think the minute things go south for whatever reason it could be\u2026 many many many reasons, I think people can go, \u2018Oh, I knew it. This, this is bad. This is a mistake. That marriages don\u2019t work.\u2019 Everybody has those dark periods.\u201d\n\n\n\n

Lowe added: \u201cWhen they come, and they do, just like a career, everyone has periods where it\u2019s not happenin\u2019 like you would like it\u2026 Life is like that, it\u2019s ebbs and flows\u2026 You just can\u2019t bail on the ebbs. \u2018Cause eventually it\u2019ll turn around if you\u2019re with the right person.\u201d\n\n\n\n

Well, I certainly think a congratulations is in order for the happy couple!\n\n\n\n
