Candace Cameron Bure and her husband, Valerie Bure, have been married since June 22, 1996. The success of their marriage involves having a realistic outlook. The former Hallmark actress and current Great American Family star is aware that, like any relationship, there will be highs and lows, and she has revealed how they navigate any challenges that arise in their marriage.
Candace Cameron Bure Discusses Marriage
In an episode of the “Stay True” podcast on Monday, November 17, the “Full House” actress discussed her marriage to Bure. “We had great years. We had some years I wish we could take back and do over. It’s a constant reevaluation,” Cameron Bure said.
She also discussed how essential it was to have flexibility in marriage and how having children put pressure on the relationship. “You really, I think, year to year you have to re-evaluate what’s working, what’s not, how are the schedules changing, and you have to continually adapt to what’s new to figure out your rhythms,” she said. “And the rhythms are going to keep changing.”
Cameron Bure continued, “So having flexibility not only in schedule but with each other as husband and wife, because that’s the first thing that’s going to go. Your marriage gets put to the test because first of all, you have kids that come in and they demand all of you. Then they get a little older, and then they pit you against your husband, and you don’t even realize it.”
The couple are parents to three children: a daughter, Natasha, and two sons, Lev and Maksim. Cameron Bure discussed what she meant about the children pitting her and her husband against each other by giving a relatable example. “They’re going to ask you for a cookie, and you’re going to tell them no. And then they’re going to go to daddy, and they’re going to go, ‘But I’m having the cookie cuz daddy said yes.’ And then you’re like, ‘Why did you give that to her? I already told her no.’ And he’s like, ‘Well, I didn’t know that.’”

She also stressed how important it is to have “time with you and your husband are going to be regardless, of career, but just in terms of children.” Cameron Bure continued to offer advice. “If I could lend you some advice that would be it is that you have to prioritize the relationship,” she said. “But I’m not talking about in a superficial way of like, ‘Oh, we just have to have a date night once a week.’ I’m like, ‘No, you need to figure out what’s important to your spouse and they need to figure out what’s important to you.”
