Yahoo Lifestyle Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are 'doing great'
With so many divorces in Hollywood, it's refreshing to see a couple who are trying to make it work.
After taking a break to work on their 13-year marriage in August last year, Michael Douglas has opened up in a new interview about making his marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones work.

The 69-year-old actor explained: "We're very close and everything's going great. Sometimes we spend more efforts with people that are strangers in terms of making an impression than the person that's closest to us," he continued.
"And you just gotta remember not to take for granted that person that's closest to you."

The couple, who are parents to children Dylan, 14, and Carys, 11, announced last year that they were separating to 'evaluate and work on their marriage'.
Despite the high-profile separation, they spent Halloween and the winter holidays together with their kids, and stepped out on the red carpet together for the first time since their split on April 15 for the opening night of The Library at NYC's Public Theater.
Last weekend, the couple celebrated their son Dylan's bar mitzvah, although the actor apparently had a little too much fun, telling the New York Post's Page Six that he had injured his groin.
"I'm hurting," he said.
