Katherine Schwarzenegger recently gushed about her marriage to Guardians of the Galaxy star, Chris Pratt, sharing a look at their very traditional marriage. The 36-year-old author shared a video of Pratt building a dollhouse for their two daughters, Eloise and Lyla. The couple also have a one-year-old son, Ford. They have been careful to keep their children, as well as Pratt’s son Jack with ex-wife, Anna Faris, out of the spotlight, rarely sharing pictures of their children and always with their faces turned away from the camera. The video also included Olivia Dean’s Man I Need playing over it.

“I’ll never understand when women say ‘I don’t need my husband’ when I very much in fact do need my husband because who else would build our daughters a doll house?” Schwarzenegger captioned the video, referring to Pratt as a “golden retriever husband.” The term is used to describe someone who is affectionate, loyal, and happy-go-lucky. The couple have been married since 2019 and often praise one another online and in public interviews.  Other users agreed with Schwarzenegger’s sentiment, with one user writing, “I think the most empowering thing is that neither needs the other – but both choose each other. That’s partnership at its best.”

Pratt recently spoke of their marriage as well and praised the couple’s premarital counseling that helped paved the way for their united marriage. “We also had a ceremony at St. Monica’s Church [in Santa Monica, Calif.,] and a part of getting married at St. Monica’s church is doing premarital counseling. We did like, six sessions with this guy who was, by the way, the best thing in the world,” he told Rob Lowe in February on SiriusXM’s Literally! With Rob Lowe podcast. One of the big sticking points he was grateful they worked out prior to getting married? How soon and when to stop celebrating Christmas. “One of them was that we were gonna play Christmas music on November 1, and that we were gonna take the Christmas tree down December 26,” he said, noting that talking about it beforehand allowed them to have a peaceful first Christmas as a married couple.  “It’s like 300 potential landmines and [you can] diffuse them beforehand. And that way, if you have an issue, you talk about it and you hash it out.”

Pratt praised premarital counseling, calling it a gift. “If you agree on it, you move on,” he said. “But if there’s things you disagree on, you hash it out and you do the work to figure out why are you coming from this [belief]? This therapist who’s basically diffusing a bomb, but in a way that’s not gonna cause an argument or a fight. ‘Cause a lot of this stuff can make you angry or upset or triggered or whatever. So I definitely recommend [it] for anybody.”
