Candace Cameron Bure’s life can seem perfect with her beautiful children, handsome husband, and glamorous career. But, as the Full House star revealed on a recent episode of her podcast, that wasn’t always the case. In 2020, Cameron Bure and her husband, Valeri Bure, had hit a “rough season.” “Val and I went through a really, really rough season in our marriage in 2020, and that’s when the pandemic hit,” said Cameron Bure. The negativity soon grew serious. “It was going south quickly and we were like, ‘I don’t know, don’t think … we’re gonna make it through,’” Cameron Bure admitted.

The couple’s struggle soon became obvious to their three children, who then decided to intervene. “At one point, Lev, Maks, and Natasha, but Lev was the one leading the charge. He came up to us and said, ‘We’d like to talk to you guys.’ Val and I sat down and Lev preached, like, a 45-minute sermon on marriage to us. Just had his Bible open on the couch and just talked about it,” she shared. Lev Bure married his wife, Elliott, last year, but at the time of the intervention with his parents, he acknowledged his lack of experience. “And I’ll never forget, ‘cause he said, ‘You know, I know I haven’t been married. I’m just a young kid. And so, it’s probably hard to take marriage advice from someone this young [who] never experienced it before. But I don’t need to be married to know what the word of God says,’” she said.

Cameron Bure called it “a pivotal moment” in the couple’s relationship. “He looked us straight in the eye and individually asked me and then asked Val, ‘Have you done everything you can? Is there one step of grace, is there just some bit of more grace you can give? Is there one more act of kindness in you that you could give to try to reconcile?’” She said the moment helped her and her husband to appreciate their children. “There was a lot more to it, but it’s a whole different scenario when your kids sit you down to have a talk and go, ‘Are you being as mature as you can be?’ I’m so grateful to Lev and Maks and Natasha. They were so supportive of everything,” she said. Cameron Bure and her husband just completed 29 years of marriage last June.
