As one of the private couples but attracting much attention from Vietnamese showbiz, Viet Huong and musician Hoai Phuong have been together for nearly two decades. Having gone through many stages of separation due to work, both still maintain a fulfilling family that many people admire.
Sharing with reporters, Viet Huong said that the most important thing to maintain marriage is respect for each other. According to the female artist, husband and wife should not try to control or impose on each other, but need to create private space for each person to develop their career and personal life.
Viet Huong also repeatedly emphasized that marriage is not a competition to determine who is right and who is wrong. When conflicts occur, both always choose to sit down to discuss instead of keeping silent or competing. For the female artist, a frank conversation can resolve many misunderstandings before things become serious.
One of the biggest challenges for the couple is the long period of living in two different countries. When Hoai Phuong and her daughter lived in the US, Viet Huong was still mainly active in art in Vietnam. Geographical distance made it impossible for them to meet after long flights.
However, instead of letting distance affect their feelings, the two chose to trust each other. Viet Huong once shared that trust is the most important foundation of marriage. If you always doubt or control your partner, married life will be very difficult to maintain for long.
The female artist also said that the two always try to spend time with their families whenever possible. Despite their busy schedules, the couple still maintains the habit of eating together, chatting and sharing stories in work as well as daily life. Things that seem simple help strengthen feelings over time.
After Hoai Phuong returned to Vietnam in 2021, the family has more time together. The male musician not only accompanies his wife in life but also supports Viet Huong in art projects, business and charity activities. Understanding and harmonious coordination help both become each other's support in both work and life.
At the age of over 40, Viet Huong said that she does not set a goal to build a perfect marriage. What the female artist aims for is peace, knowing how to listen, be tolerant and overcome difficult periods together.
Nearly 20 years together, Viet Huong and Hoai Phuong still prove that a sustainable marriage does not depend on flowery words or expensive gifts, but is created from respect, trust and efforts to preserve each other. This is also the reason why the couple still maintains happiness in a volatile entertainment environment.
