Candace also said that respect is a key ingredient in a happy marriage. “You really try to, I always say, put your spouse on a pedestal,” she added. “And in return, you’re hoping, which my husband does, we have the same respect for one another … and some days neither of us deserve it, but we do it because we honor one another and respect each other. You hang in there, you’re always going to come back on the upswing if you’re in a low spot.”
While the Full HouseAlthough alum once believed that distance was necessary to keep the romance alive during their relationship, she changed her mind after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

And then you kind of go, well, ‘How are we going to figure it out? What decisions will we make? How do we come to a compromise in a way that you feel good?’” the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries star continued. “So, that’s just what we did. And that’s what marriage is really all about, but it was kind of thrown in your face during quarantine.”
