Why David & Victoria Beckham’s Marriage Lasted (And What Most Couples Miss)

Описание: What makes a relationship last for decades — even under intense public pressure?

In this episode of IQ Relationships, we explore the long-standing marriage of David and Victoria Beckham and unpack six healthy relationship principles they appear to have embodied over time.

Rather than idolising celebrity romance, we look at what actually works in long-term love through a grounded, psychologically informed lens.

Together, Quinton and Ilze reflect on how the Beckhams modelled:

✨ Healthy pursuit with clarity, not insecurity
✨ A strong “us” mentality — treating marriage like a team sport
✨ Normalising seasons of strain without panic or abandonment
✨ Protecting privacy and not outsourcing the relationship to others
✨ Mutual respect and support for each other’s ambitions
✨ Playfulness, humour, and lightness that keep love alive

We also reference insights from relationship experts Esther Perel, Matthew Hussey, and Mel Robbins, including:

The balance between togetherness and individuality

Why boundaries protect intimacy

The difference between a healthy pursuit and chasing

How privacy strengthens trust and emotional safety

This conversation is for anyone who wants to understand what healthy love looks like in real life — not perfection, but commitment, respect, and conscious choice.
