During the Monday episode of ‘The View', Julia Roberts was asked to reveal the ingredients of a happy married life.

As per OK! Magazine, she said, "My sister, who has been married for 25 years or 26 years, I think, she says the secret to a happy marriage is two bathroom sinks and two phone lines."

She further stated, "It isn’t rainbows and kittens every day, but it does bring me a lot of joy. It’s just never consumed me, being an actor. It is my dream come true, but it is not my only dream come true."

"The life that I have built with my husband [and] the life that we’ve built with our children, that’s the best stuff. To come home at the end of the day, triumphantly, to them," mentioned the 'Pretty Woman' star.

Not just that, she disclosed, "[Writing handwritten notes is] something Danny and I have always done. The first letter he ever wrote me, which was seven pages long, I still have it tucked away. One day I’ll show it to [my daughter] Hazel and say, 'That’s what you’re looking for'."
