What is the secret sauce behind their long-term marriage? They are Emotionally Checked
It’s been more than two decades that Helen and Jocko are married and their relationship is still going strong. So, many of their fans are curious to know what is a key to their enduring relationship? And the answer to the question, Helen’s husband Willink himself said in an interview with Podcast Magazine in late 2020.
He said,
“My wife and I work together as a team. We control our emotions. It’s not weak to have emotions, but there is a balance. If you lose control of them, you have moments of weakness. We don’t make good decisions when we’re emotional. If your spouse is emotional and you respond by reflecting those very emotions back, that’s going to escalate into a bad situation.
