Candace Cameron Bure Says Son Had To Sit Her And Val Down To Tell Them Why Their Marriage Needed Work: ‘You Have To Prioritize’

by

We all learn certain things about life as we get older, and one of them is that relationships can be difficult, no matter the type. This is often particularly true for romantic relationships, and even more so when one or both partners are famous. Despite this, actress and producer Candace Cameron Bure and her husband, former hockey player Valeri Bure, have been married for 29 years. She recently shared how challenging some of those years were and how their eldest son helped them through it.

What Candace Cameron Bure Said About Tough Years In Her Marriage And How Her Son Helped

Many still remembered Candace Cameron as a young star when her “Full House” co-star, Dave Coulier, set her up with professional hockey player Val Bure. That night, she also spent time with fellow cast members Bob Saget and Lori Loughlin. Two years later, in 1996, Candace and Val got married, and they’ve been together for almost three decades.

In a recent interview on the Stay True podcast, the actress known for her upcoming 2025 Christmas film—and recently celebrated by her daughter Natasha at her wedding—shared her thoughts on the challenges couples face during tough times, explaining that:

We’ve experienced many good years together, but also some difficult ones we wish we could have handled differently. It’s a process of constantly assessing what’s working and what isn’t, especially as our lives and schedules change. You always need to adjust and find a new rhythm, because things are always evolving. Marriage is challenging, and it requires consistently making the relationship a priority.

Cameron Bure pointed out that raising children can be very demanding. They require your complete attention, and as they grow, they can become surprisingly manipulative – even while being incredibly adorable – sometimes creating tension between parents.

This mother of three also praised her oldest son, Levi (now 25), in a recent podcast episode. She explained that when he was a child, he recognized his parents were going through a difficult time and worried they wouldn’t recover. He helped them address the issues and work on their relationship, ultimately leading to healing.

Lev once gave us a lengthy, around 45-minute, sermon on marriage. He simply sat on the couch with his Bible and spoke about it. I remember him saying he understood it might be hard to take marriage advice from someone young and unmarried like himself, but that he didn’t need to be married to understand what the Bible teaches about it.

Their son’s thoughtful and surprisingly wise conversation prompted them to reassess and refocus on their relationship, allowing them to stay together for nearly thirty years.
