Mariel Rodriguez is thought to be yearning for nothing more in her marriage to Robin Padilla.

However, he was also willing to admit that disputes are unavoidable in married life.

“Kasi malayo ang age gap namin, we have 15 years na age difference,” Mariel said.

“Sometimes kasi, iba yung perspective, iba yung upbringing, sometimes diyan ka magkakaroon ng struggle.

“Pero at the end of the day, yung love pa rin ang always nananalo. May give and take.”

They’ve been married for about a decade and have two daughters, Maria Isabella, 5, and Maria Gabriela, 2.

So Mariel and Robin have a hack to ensure that they can communicate effectively if they get into a fight.

Mariel elaborates, “Nag-aaway din kami, nagkakaanuhan din kami. Ang [way] namin ngayon maganda na kasi di kami nagsisigawan.

“Hindi na kami nag-aaway nang sigawan because I don’t want my kids to grow up in that kind of environment.

“So, pag nag-aaway kami ni Robin, tine-text namin sa isa’t isa. Walang sigawan. That way, hindi nakakarinig yung mga anak ko.”

Robin and I are believed to be the ones that soothe each other.

“Minsan nga, pag nag-aaway kami. ‘Ayoko ng mga away na ganito.’ Sasabihin namin, ‘Di tayo nag-aaway, nagdedebate lang.’ Hahaha! Ganun lang.”
