Verdict is in: Judge Judy reveals the ‘deadly’ habit she’s avoided during 46-year marriage

Judge Judy Sheindlin and her husband, Jerry Sheindlin, have kept their 46-year marriage alive by doing two simple things. “You don’t spend 24 hours together,” Judy, 81, recently told E!

News. “Because that’s deadly.” The courtroom TV star also stressed that partners should make sure that their partners still find them attractive. “Jerry just celebrated his 90th birthday,” she told the outlet. “And I still like to look at him when he walks in the room — that’s a key.” This is not the first time that she’s offered advice to other couples.In 2021, the Emmy Award-winning judge told People that staying fit is essential too.“We’re both very surface people when it comes to that,” the “Judy Justice” star explained at the time. “You know if you fall instantaneously for somebody that means there’s a physical attraction.

And people age, people they change, you can either do it gracefully or you can say ‘I give up.'”“And I, for myself, I said ‘I choose to not give up, I choose to stay fit.’ So don’t even think about anything but staying, looking as good as you can possibly look at this stage in your life,” she added. “I don’t have to tell him that more than once, he loves himself desperately.”The couple, who got married in 1977 and share five children from both of their previous marriages, reportedly met one night at a bar while they were both attorneys. “I just finished trying a murder case as a defense lawyer,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 1999.
