Comedian Steve Harvey was dragged to kingdom come after he revealed his secret to a long, happy marriage in a recently resurfaced video.
During a 2022 appearance on “The Talk,” the 67-year-old comedian told men to “keep your damn mouth shut” if they want their marriages to survive more than 15 years like his.
"Keep your damn mouth shut."

Steve and his third wife, Marjorie, 60, were wed in 2007. Marjorie Bridges has three grown children and Steve has four adult children in their blended family.
His advice to men to keep their mouths shut and let their wives do the talking didn’t go over well with today’s Gen Z social media users.
One person wrote: “How many failed marriages this man had? I’m not tryna hear nothing from him.”
Another person wrote, “It took Steve 3 marriages to start giving advice… and this the guy I’m supposed to listen to when I’m still on my first marriage 20yrs and counting.”
A third X user wrote: “He just told the whole world who wears the pants in that household and the divine order doesn’t matter to him.”
Steve Harvey's advice to 'keep your damn mouth shut' might seem humorous or even practical in some situations, it's actually a concerning and unhealthy approach to relationships. A successful marriage or partnership is built on mutual respect, trust, and open communication.

Im sure its my generation, but i wont. If i am with someone that wont let me express myself, especially if i dont like something, then they aint the one. Now theres times ill hold my tongue cause i understand im in the wrong on it and would just be lashing out.
