Dolly Parton Reveals How She & Husband Avoid Fighting
It has been nearly sixty years since Dolly Parton and Carl Dean tied the knot. He is very low-key and she is a spitfire which has worked for them very well. They have found a balance and opposites attract in their case. Dolly has credited astrology for their success but he also lets her be herself and pursue her dreams. She loves to perform and be on the road but Carl would rather be at home. The Grammy winner has told the story of begging him to come to an event with her. She got him everything he needed to look sharp and be by her side after he obliged.
However, after it was over, Carl asked never to have to walk a red carpet ever again and she agreed. If that made him so uncomfortable, she wanted to respect that. They have sweet date nights where it is calm and often at home or casual restaurants. More so, when they travel, they will go camping and Carl gets so excited but he prefers being at home. Dolly has slowed down a tad to take care of him but she is still as busy as can be. One thing that she is sharing is they do not fight.
Rather, they have found ways to avoid fighting, according to Us Weekly. She was very candid about her marriage on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast, sharing this:
Any time [there is] too much tension going on, either one of us can, like, find a joke about it to really break the tension, where we don’t let it go so far. We never fought back and forth — and I’m glad we never did.
Everyone Loves Carl
Dolly Parton and Carl Dean may live life differently but they have found a way to make it work for them. They respect each other’s boundaries and Bunnie Xo noted that Dolly lights up when she’s talking about her husband. That was when Dolly shared everyone loves Carl which is amazing since many friends do not think he even exists. Reba McEntire told Andy Cohen she’s never been to Dolly’s home and never met Carl. They have been friends for decades but he remains a myth and that is somewhat of a running joke.
Are you shocked that Carl and Dolly have such a peaceful approach when it comes to fighting? More so, do you think that their differences work in their favor? Let us know in the comments below.
