Inside Candace Cameron Bure's Marriage
By MADISON TROYER
MET AT A HOCKEY GAME
When Candace Cameron Bure attended a hockey game to cheer on her "Full House" co-star Dave Coulier, he told her, "I met this really cute Russian hockey player and I want to introduce you." Funnily enough, Candace had been eyeing that "cute Russian," Valeri Bure, during the game, and the two hit it off.
THEIR SHARED FAITH
In an interview with "People," Bure said of her relationship with her husband, "the glue for us is Jesus. It's the Bible. You know when there are arguments or we're compromising and in ways, it's always like 'Well, let's just go back to the Bible.' It's the foundation for us.” Their shared faith is clearly the backbone of their marriage.
CHRISTIAN ROLES
In her book "Balancing It All," Bure wrote, "I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work." However, she adds, "Don't for a second think I get walked all over. I don't."
OUTSPOKEN INTIMACY
The Bures do subvert old-fashioned Christian practices in at least one way. On the podcast "Confessions of a Crappy Christian," Candace stated, “[Sex] is a part of what makes our marriage work [...] Sex is the blessing of marriage, and I hate when Christians are like, 'No, you have to pretend you've never had sex.'”
NOT ALL ROSES
Bure has spoken about her marriage going through a rough patch during COVID-19 lockdown: "All the things that we have avoided for years talking about, they all surfaced and they were in our face and it was unavoidable to actually have these discussions with one another". Thankfully, her marriage persevered.
