Candace Cameron Bure has shared her experiences of navigating challenges in her nearly 30-year marriage to former professional hockey player Val Bure. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, published on November 5, she candidly reflected on the ups and downs that have marked her long-lasting relationship.
“There are days I wrestle with brokenness, I have experienced that,” the 49-year-old actress and producer stated. She acknowledged that while difficult times are not an everyday occurrence, they have been part of her journey. “I’ve been married for 29 years and I have an incredible, wonderful marriage, but it isn’t without its valleys of real struggle,” she added. Bure emphasized that overcoming these challenges has reinforced their bond, stating, “God is in the restoration business. He loves to restore and make all things new.”
Candace and Val Bure, who married in 1996, are proud parents to three children: Natasha, 27, Lev, 25, and Maksim, 23. Over the years, the actress has openly discussed various hurdles in her marriage, providing insight into their relationship’s dynamics.
In a previous episode of her podcast, The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, she recalled how Val once felt uneasy watching her engage in on-screen kissing scenes, prompting them to agree that she would avoid roles with anything more than a kiss. Additionally, she shared a touching moment when their son Lev acted as a mediator during a particularly challenging phase in their marriage. In a heartfelt address, Lev delivered a 45-minute sermon on marriage, reminding them of the teachings of their faith.
Candace’s willingness to share both the struggles and triumphs of her marriage serves as an inspiring reminder that even the strongest relationships experience challenges. Emphasizing faith and communication, she showcases how couples can grow together, no matter the trials they face.
