Last night I had dinner with Stacy and a couple who has been together for about 8 years. We started off talking about modeling and the industry as far as the bad and the good sides. Then the question arose as to how this couple made it so far in their relationship. They both laughed and then answered communication and love. Then Rodney stepped in and said "well let's dig into this a little more". He began to tell us how it's not just the communication but the level of honesty they carry with each other. Charlie then said that she talks with Rodney sometimes and he is bluntly honest, and sometime harder on her than anyone else. He agreed and said that it's because with her it will end up affecting him if she doesn't get what he is saying but with someone else they can either take his advice or what have you or not. So he goes on to say that he can be away on a gig and joke with his girl like "ok babe I am on set with some really hot models and one has asked me to come back to her room, how do you feel about that". Of course he wouldn't and that's what makes it amazing! They are so blunt and honest with each other that there is no question about who this other person is or what their intentions are. There is a trust that lies in with this openness. There no longer has to be a whole lot of questions and mistranslations. I was really blown away at the fact that they had such an awesome relationship. I loved their company and knowledge shared.
