Barbra Streisand gave her own opinion on the secret of her and James Brolin's decades-long relationship. In an interview with Variety in 2021, Streisand cited listening as the trick.
"The secret is to listen carefully," the "Woman In Love" singer said. "I think to be a good actor, you have to listen. To be a good person, you have to listen. To be a good marriage partner, you have to listen. Hear the other person. Agree to disagree."
Brolin seemed to agree in a 2022 People interview when he said, "I think everybody needs to be a negotiator. Everybody needs to have patience and know when to take a walk." He went on to say that everyone needs to be aware of what makes them angry and that eventually when things are calmer, they can talk things out with their partner.
