"Lucky, lucky Jenna Dewan-Tatum. Not only is she married to People&amp;amp;#8217;s Sexiest Man Alive, but their marriage seems so romantic and wonderful that I am squee-ing with happiness.We already know Channing can be sweet, funny, and of course, sexy as all get out in his movie roles, but he&amp;#x27;s clearly all those things in real life too. With the announcement of his crowning as Sexiest Man Alive, let&amp;#x27;s take a look into his relationship with his wife Jenna. Because even though it&amp;#x27;s like, How hard can it be happy when you&amp;#x27;re married to this hotness, they seriously set a good example for a healthy and loving relationship. No matter how good looking you are, you&amp;#x27;ve got to keep it real. Mr. Sexiest told his wife about his new title in a most unsexy way: while they were kneeling in front of a bathtub, cleaning skunk spray off their dogs. Jenna said, &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m not quite sure why the skunk smell made him think about it.&amp;amp;#8221; It&amp;#x27;s nice to know that despite the amount of sexiness these two exude, they still have to do normal and sometimes gross chores as a couple, and they still love each other in good smells and in bad. Watch romantic movies together for inspiration. The Tatum family picks, according to Channing? &amp;amp;#8220;We love The Notebook. She loves Titanic. What do I love? Love Story.&amp;amp;#8221; Can I come over and watch with you guys sometime? Spontaneity is key. On switching up their date night routine, Jenna says &amp;quot;Just have fun. I think people should always keep an element of play in their relationships and spontaneity. It keeps things fun and fresh.&amp;quot; So true, although if I were married to Channing Tatum it would take me a long time to get bored of date nights where the sole activity was stroking his abs. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...but don&amp;#x27;t stay away too long. Channing and Jenna, with their busy celeb schedules, follow a two-week rule when it comes to the amount of time they are willing to be apart. Most of us average folks don&amp;#x27;t have to worry about that too much, but a little time apart might even be good for your appreciation of your partner. Of their time apart, Channing says: &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s painful not to see each other. I really miss my other half.&amp;quot; Conclusion? A little time away is good, but stay connected in the long run. Love doesn&amp;#x27;t have to be so complicated. When asked what surprised her about marriage, Jenna said she was surprised that she didn&amp;#x27;t feel that different: &amp;quot;It was kind of just a natural progression. It didn&amp;amp;#8217;t really change much and it still feels nice and romantic. I think I was waiting for some grand thing to change but, if anything, you just get stronger and more connected.&amp;quot; And Channing says it wasn&amp;#x27;t hard to realize Jenna was The One: &amp;quot;You know when you know. You look at the person and you can&amp;#x27;t imagine life without them.&amp;quot; I&amp;#x27;m sure they have issues like any other couple, but I love that their relationship isn&amp;#x27;t a struggle. Be proud of your significant other. Although it can&amp;#x27;t be easy to know millions of women are screaming over your naked man, Jenna says of Magic Mike: &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m happy for people to see it. He&amp;#x27;s so good in it. I&amp;#x27;m just so proud.&amp;quot; On behalf of all of us, thank you for being willing to share the hotness, girl. Express yourself in writing. Channing previously told People he doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t think it&amp;amp;#8217;s hard to be thoughtful, and to prove it, he likes to leave little love notes for his wife. &amp;amp;#8220;I like drawing little faces and writing little stories and hiding them in places.&amp;amp;#8221; Awww. I repeat, AWWWWWW. The little things are good, but sometimes you need to go big or go home. For example, take Channing&amp;amp;#8217;s 32nd birthday, when his wife arranged a flash mob to dance to &amp;amp;#8220;(I&amp;amp;#8217;ve Had&amp;amp;#8221;) The Time of My Life. Was Channing embarrassed by the grand gesture? No way. He said: &amp;amp;#8220;Best. Birthday. Gift. EVER.&amp;amp;#8221; I love a man who appreciates a little Dirty Dancing. How cute are these two? Do you think they have a good relationship? And were you pleased with this Sexiest Man Alive pick? More couples we love: *Do You and Your Guy Have a Bedtime Ritual?
