The Real Housewives of Orange County's Alexis Bellino and her husband, Jim, have seen their previous marriages fail. So the couple have created 10 rock-solid rules to make sure their relationship endures, Alexis tells Star.
At the top of the list: Never spend more than two nights apart, treat each other with respect at all times and no name-calling when arguing. "No matter how mad you get... you cannot take your words back," says Alexis — who dishes that RHOC's seventh season, which began on Feb. 7, will be the most drama-filled yet.
Alexis adds that she and Jim, the parents of three, also strive to discuss every disagreement and have 20-minute meetings each night after dinner to catch up.
In addition, the pair make most decisions jointly — "always the big ones," says Alexis — pray together, go to therapy regularly and have a date night at least once a week. But the critical point is also the most simple. "Put marriage first," says Alexis. "Everything else falls into place."

How 'Smash' Is Bringing Broadway To The Small Screen

Two desperate and talented performers — Ivy (Megan Hilty), a Broadway veteran looking to move beyond the chorus line, and Karen (Katharine McPhee), a Midwestern girl stuck waiting tables — fight to star in a musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe.
To get the lead role in the new musical drama Smash, they'll have to win over a writing duo that's out for one more hit (Debra Messing, Christian Borle), a producer in the midst of a messy divorce (Anjelica Huston) and a director (Jack Davenport) with an ego bigger than the Big Apple.
"I have always had an interest in theater," explains executive producer Steven Spielberg, "but it's that creative process — what goes on before the curtain even goes up — that really fascinated me."
The result is a behind-the-scenes look at musical theater with a few soulful show tunes for good measure (think: Glee meets The West Wing). And in a meta twist, the Marilyn production they're putting together on the show may one day be staged as a reallife Broadway musical.
