I like the idea that I can wake up in the morning and make decisions every day if I want to be here. I think ultimately staying independent with independent thinking is important, so you can hold on to yourself, and you can actually have that feeling. she added.

Hawn's Advice on Making Love Last
A lasting relationship isn't about marriage. It's about compatibility and communication. And you both need to want it to work, Hawn told Porter in 2015. If one person does not want it to work, it isn't going to work. Intention is the key. It's also about not losing yourself in each other. Being together, two pillars holding up the house and the roof, and being different, not having to agree on everything, learning how to deal with not agreeing. Everything's a choice. When asked about the importance of marriage and how people view it as a milestone achieved in a relationship, Hawn expressed her discomfort.I would be long divorced if I'd been married, if you need to feel bound to someone, it's important to be married. I chose to stay. Kurt choses to stay, and we liked the choice. What is marriage going to do? she continued.
