Being president of America, affects a lot in personal life and inadvertently adds to the challenges within a marriage. This is something that former President Obama himself has stated in the biographical book "A Promised Land", which is expected to be published on November 17.
Barack Obama, admits that the status of president made things more difficult in family and married life, adding tension to Michelle and the relationship with him.
"Despite Michelle's fame and success, I felt an inner tension in her. It seemed like once we were locked inside the walls of the White House, all of her previous frustrations and frustrations became more focused, more vivid, perhaps by "My immersion in work all day, or the way politics exposed our family. Maybe the occasional attacks or the tendency of friends and family to treat her role as secondary to importance."
He reveals that there were some nights when he lay down next to his wife in the dark and thought about the days when things between them were simpler, when her laughter was constant and their love less loaded by other things. In those moments, Obama says his heart started pounding just at the idea that those days might never come back.
On the other hand, Michelle, during the conversation with Oprah in 2018, admitted that Obama's political career brought great challenges in their relationship.
"When you are married and have children, your plan can be reversed immediately. Especially if you are married to someone who has a career such as politics. Barack taught me how to deviate, how to adapt. Now I have two kids and I'm trying to take responsibility for everything until he comes back from the next trip.He has an optimism to admire, so we had a lot of work to do as a couple.What I realized was that I needed support and I loved him from him, but more than that was to discover how to build life in a way that worked for me. "- she concluded.
