This will be the year that Denzel Washington and his wife, Pauletta Washington, celebrate 40 years of marriage to one another.
The question concerning the actor’s strategy for a happy and fruitful marriage over a lengthy period of time was posed during his appearance on The Ellen Show. Denzel provided a straightforward response, which was, “I do what I’m instructed.” This phrase conveys the same sentiment that Denzel does about his wife and their marriage. In 2017, the actor credited their happy marriage to his “marrying up” to a more successful partner. According to Denzel, Pauletta’s upbringing was somewhat dissimilar than how he spent his formative years. Denzel understood that he needed to be a part of her family in order to feel the kind of love and intimacy that he had only read about.
This year marks Denzel and Pauletta’s 40th wedding anniversary, which will be celebrated in this year.
