Americans, it seems, covet more than just Michelle Obama’s green gloves and ability to wear yellow. They also admire her marriage.
In fact, people appear so enamored with the Obamas’ public rapport that a relationship expert is giving followers advice on how to emulate their union.
“There’s a definite mystique about them,” said Michelle McKinney Hammond, who recently modified her workshops to include a segment on “keeping your romance together, Obama-style.”
Hammond, a Chicago-based relationship coach who has sold more than 2 million books worldwide and is considered a leading voice in the evangelical advice industry, said she decided to add the topic after receiving many questions on how to emulate the president and first lady’s marriage.
“You want to look all googly-eyed at your husband like Michelle does, and you want him to look all googly-eyed at you like Barack does with Michelle,” Hammond said.
Hammond thinks the Obamas’ marriage works because they don’t just love each other, they like each other, too.
