The Beckhams reveal why they're together for almost 18 years

Nearly 18 years after tying the knot, David and Victoria Beckham have renewed their vows again. In a recent interview with the BBCs Radio 4's Desert Island Discs show, David Beckham cast a critical eye over his nuptials.

David revealed that they have renewed their vows after 17 years of marriage. "We have renewed our vows since then and it was a lot more private," he said. "There were about six people there in our house".

Beckham said the secret to their 18-year marriage is making his relationship with Victoria a priority and working together through any hard times. "Were a strong family unit. Weve got strong parents. We were brought up with the right values. Of course you make mistakes over the years, and we all know marriage is difficult at times. Its about working through it," he said.

"We know each other better than anybody. People have talked about, 'Do we stay together because it's a brand?' Of course not. We stay together because we love each other, because we have four amazing children," he continued.

Their almost-19-year marriage has led to success for the Beckhams, from a longterm fashion business to the many modeling contracts to the fledgling careers of their children. And even after nearly two decades together, Beckham said they continue to grow stronger and closer as a couple.
