The Couple Just Celebrated 22 Years of Marriage
Back in July, they celebrated 22 years of marriage, Sweeney shared.
Sweeney told Closer Weekly that she and her husband have a marriage evaluation of sorts every year.
“Every year on our anniversary, we have a dinner date and talk about how our relationship is going,” she said. “…We kind of give each other a job evaluation, which sounds a little embarrassing! We talk about our three favorite things about the other person and then three things that we could work on.”
In January, she shared a photo of him in uniform for National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Sweeney wrote, “I just want to say how much I appreciate my husband, Dave and all the honest & brave men & women in law enforcement. Thank you for your service. 💙💛”
She also previously shared a photo of their wedding day, comparing it to a recent picture.
In an interview with She Knows, Sweeney revealed that no matter how busy they are, she and her husband find time to spend together.
“My husband Dave and I work hard to keep our relationship solid apart and separate from our role as parents, even if it’s just snuggling watching TV together after the kids are in bed,” she said.
She added that the shows they watch together are “sacred” and he event waited to watch the finale of “Breaking Bad” until she got back from filming.
“I think the trick to keeping the spark alive is engaging in their life and sharing yours,” she said. “Not just mundane day-to-day business of family or kids, but really finding the stuff you enjoy together. Dave and I love to travel, we go to music concerts together, we even love the heated discussions after we watch something on Netflix. It’s just about connecting.”
