Susan and Helmut Huber-Married for Nearly five Decades
In Hollywood, it's pretty rare to find couples who are together for a long time. Nowadays, a relationship has only become a source of the publicity to the stars.
During this scenario, Susan and Helmut Huber have set an amazing example. They didn't worry about commitments, like couples these days are afraid of.
Even though Helmut Huber is an Austrian, but the distance didn't fade their love for each other.
The key to a successful relationship is to compromise and once you get past that stage you're fine. Till now Susan feels grateful that she got a family that loves her.
In an interview to the Huffingtonpost, she revealed various aspects of her marriage. She stated,
“I wake up, I’m happy,” she said. “I have my family intact and I do the work that I love to do, and those things make me thrive.”

This was the second marriage for Helmut. But Susan feels grateful as his second wife because he got the experience of marriage first hand.
