Actress Meryl Streep thinks her marriage to Don Gummer has been so successful because they are the "perfect odd couple".
The "Into the Woods" actress has been married to Gummer, a sculptor, for 36 years. They have four children together.
"We're kind of the perfect odd couple. Don is a man of few words - I'm the one who keeps up a constant stream of chatter in the house," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Streep as saying.
"He listens very patiently and then goes back to his work. He also loves me as I am, eager and overactive, even at this age.
"He's the definition of the introverted, introspective artist. I'm very expressive and more exuberant. We complement each other beautifully that way," she added.
