Marian Rivera says Dingdong Dantes constantly checks up on her and their kids even when taping for 'Descendants of the Sun' outside Metro Manila.
Making marriage work and last really takes teamwork.
This is what Kapuso Primetimes Queen Marian Rivera learned after being married to Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes in 2014.
She narrated to Aubrey Carampel during their 24 Oras interview how she and Dingdong plan out their free days monthly.
“Ini-schedule talaga, once a month.
“Ito 'yung schedule niya, ito 'yung schedule ko, nagtatagpo kami para may date pa rin kami, may bonding pa rin kami, may heart-to-heart talk pa rin kami.
Marian stressed that a busy schedule shouldn't get in the way of marriage.
“So, dapat siguro sa isang relasyon hindi nawawala 'yun kahit anong busy niyo.
“Give and take talaga. Kung siya 'yung sobrang pagod na pagod, ako naman 'yung maglalambing.
“So, kailangan ganun 'yung relationship niyo, hindi puwedeng ako 'yung palaging pagod o siya 'yung palaging pagod.
“Tingnan natin kung sino 'yung dapat mauna o mag-initiate, maglambing at mag-asikaso. Kailangan 'yun sa relationship,” she said.
Marian also recounted how Dingdong takes time to call her up to check on her and the kids to make sure they're safe.
According to the Kapuso actress, her husband consistently did this even when he has a weak phone signal while out-of-town taping for the local adaptation of Korean drama Descendants of the Sun, where Dingdong playing the lead male role.
“Minsan walang signal, bababa pa siya ng bundok.
“Bumaba lang siya ng bundok para may signal, to check lang kung okay kami ng mga bata.
“'Tapos kapag sinabi kong okay lang kami, you don't have to worry, aakyat na ulit siya, wala na ulit siyang signal.”
While her husband is preparing for Descendants of the Sun, Marian is slated to make a comeback in drama anthology Tadhana and variety show Sunday PinaSaya after her maternity leave.
