Dolly Parton explains how she and husband of 58 years avoid arguments

During an appearance on Bunnie Xo's "Dumb Blonde" podcast, Dolly Parton, 78, explained how she and husband Carl Thomas Dean avoid arguments within their marriage.

"He’s quiet and I’m loud, and we’re funny," she told Jelly Roll's wife on the podcast. "Oh, he’s hilarious. And I think one of the things that’s made it last so long through the years is that we love each other [and] we respect each other, but we have a lot of fun. Anytime [there’s] 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," she added. "And I’m glad now that we never did, because once you start that, that becomes a lifetime thing. I’ve seen it with so many people, and I thought, ‘I ain’t ever starting that.’ I couldn’t bear to think that he’d say something I couldn’t take… because I’m a very sensitive person toward other people and myself."
