Michelle Obama: Romantic words about her love for Barack

Michelle (56) and Barack Obama (58) have been a couple since 1992. They got to know and love each other in a law firm three years earlier. In a moving interview with the talk show queen Oprah Winfrey (66), the former first lady now gave an emotional insight into the apparently still very intact married life of the two. Since the two daughters Malia (21) and Sasha (18) have left the house, there seems to be more time for togetherness.

"We have more emotional time, emotional energy," says Michelle about her current situation, "there is only me, him, the dogs and dinner." She currently feels that she has reached the point where she can feel her love for one another: "Now I can look at him and recognize my husband, he is still the man I fell in love with."

"Being a parent takes up a very large emotional space," Obama says of the past few years. She herself put a lot of time and energy into the girls during the upbringing, now she is trying to make life normal again with her husband. She is currently trying to figure out what the next chapter will be and how she wants to spend the rest of her life.
