Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson (PHOTOS) married 23 years. With the divorce rate among this generation's couples being higher than it's ever been, it's hard to believe that some celebrity couples have stuck it through and have remained married for many years.

It's hard for any of us to believe a celebrity couple can stay married with all the outside pressures and snares they deal with on a day-to-day basis.

Actors and actresses having sex scenes with other actors and actresses, then coming home to their wife or husband and children, expected to return to normal. Traveling to other states and countries all the time for films, concerts, etc.

Being a celebrity couple is hard work, so clap your hands for the folks below who have remained married through it all. Go here for photos.
