Throughout their three-decade-long relationship, Obamas have spoken candidly about the challenges they faced during their relationship.
While talking about her book, The Light We Carry, in November 2022, Michelle said their marriage has never been perfect, as one of them is always needing more or giving more.
“Over the years, a lot of young people have asked me about marriage. And my response usually goes something like this: You have to prepare yourself for long stretches of discord and discomfort,” she said.
She had also described her husband Barack as her home.
Michelle said as an adult, she had lived in a number of places but had only had one real home. "My home is my family. My home is Barack," she said.
