Dolly Parton reveals secrets to her 53-year marriage to Carl Thomas Dean

#CarlDean #CountryMusic #DollyParton #Marriage Beloved Country Music legend Dolly Parton has been married for over 50 years, and as she explains, it all started out with a very simple dinner. What's the secret to a 50-plus year marriage? Ask Dolly Parton. And you might be surprised: It's not about grand romantic gestures. "I've been married for 53 years come next May, and my husband and I have a great relationship," the 72-year-old country music legend told People magazine recently. "We've been together most of our lives." After Parton met Carl Thomas Dean at a Wishy Washy laundromat, the pair went on their first date. But he did not escort her to a big fancy restaurant.

Justin Bieber Taking Break From Music, Focusing on Health and Marriage

#HaileyBaldwin#JustinBieber #Health  #Marriage #Music Justin Bieber is taking a step back from his music to focus on his health and his marriage ... because he wants to address some "deep rooted issues." Justin just announced his plans to hit pause on his career and shift his focus to more important things, like Hailey Baldwin ... telling his fans, "music is very important to me but nothing comes before my family and my health." The Biebs is sending a clear message to anyone clamoring him to release a new album ... saying, "I've toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s, I realized and as you guys probably saw I was unhappy last tour and I don't deserve that and you don't deserve that, you pay money to come and have a lively energetic fun light concert and I was unable emotionally to give you that near the end of the tour." Justin's comments come amid reports he's been getting treatment for depression. He addresses some of
