Back in March, Ron opened up about the key to his long-lasting marriage in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.

“I think the whole key is learning how to problem solve, learning how to communicate and beginning to trust that you as a couple, you’re good at solving this stuff,” he said.

“Sometimes you feel like you don’t want to talk anymore, ‘Just don’t. Please stop.’ And that’s the wrong path. You’re good at figuring these problems out, and you begin to trust that — and trust each other,” continued the Apollo 13 filmmaker

Ron also said that luck has played a role in his marriage to Cheryl, explaining, “I think there’s just a lot of luck in a marriage lasting a long time. I don’t think it’s something you can will into existence.”

The Happy Days actor added, “It’s a good idea to obviously put yourself out there and be caring and loving and be considerate and all of those things, but you really have to grow together. And we’ve had that good fortune of our chemistry staying strong, our interests having grown and evolved, but somehow remaining compatible. And so there’s an element of luck there. I count myself as supremely fortunate.”
