If you’re curious about how Barack and Michelle Obama, the President of the United States and the First Lady, keep “the fire going” after 2 decades of married life, Barbara Walters has gotten them to open up on the topic.

Obama is one of Walters’ most fascinating people of 2012, so naturally, the two and Mrs. Obama sat down for an interview that aired on Nightline the other night.

Among the topics up for discussion was also that of their long and happy marriage, and what their secret for it is.

“We've been married now twenty years, and like every marriage you have your ups and you have your downs, but if you work through the tough times the respect and love that you feel deepens,” the President explained.

Humor is also an important factor, Mrs. Obama chimed in. Major awww moment.
