Justin, 45, mentioned that he models his relationship after his grandparents, who were together over 50 years. "My grandfather used to write one sentence every day in his journal: "I love Anne more than ever today," he spilled about his grandfather's loving gesture. "I think that was his meditation—keeping him in his marriage, and also his appreciation for it. It was very touching."

JUSTIN AND JENNIFER'S CUTEST COUPLE MOMENTS 

Justin and Jennifer, 47, tied-the-knot in a secret ceremony at their California home in August 2015 after a three year engagement. The pair, who are always in the spotlight, have to try real hard to not be noticed when out and about. In fact, that is one of the things Justin misses about being anonymous. "It's a luxury problem, " the Leftovers star shared. "I would love to walk around New York with my wife. Take her to Washington Square Park."
