" Emily Blunt has shared what she believes are the secrets to a successful relationship.  The Five Year Engagement actress, who is married to The Office star John Krasinski, said that she finds relationships to be &amp;quot;complicated&amp;quot; and in need of constant upkeep.   &amp;quot;Life is complicated and shape-shifting all the time and you have to be willing to roll with the punches. The main thing that I find hard to learn as a British person is communication,&amp;quot; Blunt joked to Celebuzz. &amp;quot;If you are in a relationship, you have to talk to each other and you have to be forever generous\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 The best relationships that I have seen of my friends, and hopefully that I am in, is that you can&amp;#039;t clip each others wings. You have to really empower the other [person] to be everything they can be.&amp;quot; Blunt went on to say that she and Krasinski keep their relationship strong by continually supporting one another&amp;#039;s success and giving each other space to pursue their own interests.    &amp;quot;I do think the relationships where one partner is stifled by the others&amp;#039; success, it&amp;#039;s either because they are allowing themselves to be that or they are sort of martyring themselves in some way. I think that is usually an unhealthy thing,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;Some kind of self-fulfillment is really important even if it means you have to spend some time apart and you make sacrifices in other ways.  &amp;quot;I think both people have to have some kind of purpose, some kind of identity. You don&amp;#039;t want to end up defining yourself by association with someone else.&amp;quot; &amp;amp;gt; Emily Blunt: &amp;#039;Marriage to John Krasinski is priority&amp;#039;&amp;amp;gt; &amp;#039;Five Year Engagement&amp;#039;s Emily Blunt on career: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m quietly ambitious&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
