"Matthew McConaughey has offered tips on how to maintain a successful marriage. The Mud actor told CNN that he has learned a lot about love from his wife Camila Alves, who he married in June 2012.   &amp;quot;I think there&amp;#039;s a way that you make [love] work, and I think a lot of people fail at it because they continually are expecting maybe something the other person can&amp;#039;t even give you,&amp;quot; he explained. The actor continued: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s too much to put that pressure on the other person. I think I&amp;#039;ve seen a lot of relationships fail because each person had the other on such a pedestal that the person couldn&amp;#039;t live up to it, and that sort of detonated the relationship.&amp;quot; McConaughey also suggested that marriages are more successful when both partners can maintain a level of personal freedom.
