When creating a family, each person believes that it will be happy, like in a fairy tale: in joy and sorrow together, together, for a long time, until the last day. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready for life's trials, and if spouses have creative professions, then sooner or later they have to face creative jealousy when a husband or wife cannot forgive their soul mate for success. And only strong people are able to maintain a balance between family and work, rejoice at the successes and creative victories of a husband or wife.

Lyubov Orlova and Grigory Alexandrov

It is probably impossible to find a more famous and successful couple in the entire post-Soviet space than the talented director Aleksandrov and his eternally young muse Orlova. It seems that their whole life was like a happy fairy tale. They met at a time when the director was looking for an actress for the lead role in "Jolly Fellows" and saw Lyubov Orlova on the stage of the Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater.

By that time, the actress had already learned all the delights of an unhappy marriage and a failing career. The meeting of two talented people has transformed everyone's life. They lived together for 40 years, Aleksandrov filmed Orlova in all his films, and they were both invariably happy. They had their own traditions and family holidays, and throughout their lives they treated each other with unfailing respect and endless love.

Maya Plisetskaya and Rodion Shchedrin

Evil tongues have bred this unique couple more than once. They met when Rodion Shchedrin was 22 years old, Maya Plisetskaya was seven years older. She already had a name, the whole capital was talking about a talented ballerina. This acquaintance first resulted in a strong friendship, and then in a passionate romance that lasted 57 years, until the last day of the great ballerina.

It was thanks to the support and help of her husband Maya Plisetskaya that she was able to dance for so long. She admitted: if not for Rodion Shchedrin, she would never have coped with all the difficulties and pressure that she had to face. They both became People's Artists of the USSR and never tried to calculate which of them got more fame.

Svetlana Nemolyaeva and Alexander Lazarev

Probably, it is difficult to find such a strong and happy couple among all the acting families. They lived together for more than half a century and all these years served together at the Mayakovsky Theater. They both worked hard, but they always put family first. Alexander Lazarev and Svetlana Nemolyaeva were always ready to seek compromises in order to preserve peace and tranquility in the family.

They raised a wonderful son, Alexander, who grew up and continued the acting dynasty. He later said in his interviews that harmony always reigned in the relationship between parents, there were no crises or periods of cooling in the family, they did not hesitate to talk about their feelings and skillfully distributed family responsibilities. But the main thing is that Svetlana Nemolyaeva and Alexander Lazarev absolutely loved each other.

Galina Vishnevskaya and Mstislav Rostropovich

Love at first sight and for life - this is how you can characterize the relationship between Galina Vishnevskaya and Mstislav Rostropovich. He first saw her in a restaurant at the reception of a foreign delegation and decided to do everything to win the heart of this goddess. And soon he had already put before her the question of living together. Galina Vishnevskaya had to make a difficult choice between an established marriage and complete uncertainty. And yet love won. She went to Rostropovich and never once in half a century regretted her decision.

They lived a long life together, went through fame and disgrace, recognition and exile, raised two daughters. And they were always happy. Mstislav Rostropovich always saw in her the very goddess whom he once fell in love with at first sight.

Alexandra Pakhmutova and Nikolay Dobronravov

Their acquaintance in the children's broadcasting studio on the All-Union Radio took place in 1956. She wrote music for children's programs, he read poetry in them. Just three months later, they became husband and wife. They do not know any special recipes for family happiness, but they know how not to find fault with each other over trifles, not go for principles where a compromise can be found, and always try to look in the same direction.

An unusually warm atmosphere reigns in their house, which always attracts creative people. Musicians, singers, composers and artists love to stop by Alexandra Pakhmutova and Nikolai Dobronravov for tea and play music. And the spouses, even after 65 years of marriage, call each other Kolechka and Alechka.

Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov

Their family duo began with joint creativity. For the first time, Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov met in Rome, where both were supposed to sing in Puccini's opera Manon Lescaut. They rehearsed together, and then walked around the eternal city. They both attributed their state of love to joint work and long walks. They sincerely believed that parting would put everything in its place, the charm would pass, and soon each of them would forget about the existence of the other. But in fact, nothing passed. On the contrary, Anna Netrebko and Yusif Eyvazov, being far from each other, again and again returned mentally to those streets where they spent so much time together.

Less than a year after they met, they became husband and wife. The first step, as expected, was taken by Yusif, leaving all business and flying to Vega, where Anna lived. Anna Netrebko and Yusif Aivazov are completely different, but for more than five years now they have been singing their aria of love in unison and never fake.

Anna Netrebko loves order in everything, so the unsystematic mixture of men's things in the closet annoys her a little. Yusif Aivazov, brought up in the glorious traditions of an Eastern family, is not used to being interrupted. But these disagreements cannot make them quarrel. This amazingly beautiful the family learned to live by their own rules. Their happiness has three facets: love, loyalty and honesty.
