Their marriage, although tested throughout the years by his political ambitions for the Illinois Senate, the US Senate and later president is going on 19 years.
Michelle said that the president is a romantic at heart
"I think a lot of laughing," the First Lady said at a White House luncheon when asked about the Obamas' union.
"I think in our house we don't take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think, in a marriage."
She added, "So we still find ways to have fun together, and a lot of it is private and personal. But we keep each other smiling and that's good," she added.
It also helps that Obama is "very romantic." "He remembers dates, birthdays," Michelle said.
Michelle Obama also said they don't fuss too much over the day that's about celebrating love and affection between couples.
Last year, the Obamas spent Valentine's Day at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.
Early v-day gift
