Snoop Dogg, an American rapper and performer, has shared the formula for a successful marriage. The 51-year-old "Drop it like it's hot" singer has been married since 1997 and has three daughters with his wife Shante Taylor and a son with his ex-girlfriend Laurie Holmond.
Speaking about what makes a healthy marriage, he told In Touch US: "Giving them everything they want, getting out the way, saying yes, yes, yes. I learned that by saying no, no, no and getting in the way. Experience is a good teacher. We've grown as boyfriend and girlfriend to grandparents to soulmates."
The hip-hop folklore is firmer and more direct with his children.
"With my kids, I was more firm and direct. I would just tell them to do something.
"But I have to do in-depth therapy work with my grandkids. Now it's, "No, you have to do this and then that. Do you have all these steps? OK, give me a hug."
Prioritizing his bond with his children over everything else, Snoop has previously stated.
He said: "Well, I think I'm about a seven plus. I've got three things that I can work on, but I feel like my relationship with my kids is more important than anything. It's a friendship relationship. It's based on me being a father, a mentor and a friend to where they can always talk to me and feel like they don't have to run away from me."
