Sarah Michelle Gellar says a second bathroom helps avoid marital fights

Sarah Michelle Gellar says a simple household rule has helped her avoid common couple conflicts: one bedroom, two bathrooms. "There just has to be another bathroom available," she said, adding that the setup "stops a lot of petty fighting." Gellar has been married to Freddie Prinze Jr.

since 2002. The pair met on the set of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and share two children. She also keeps a clear boundary between public and private life. "I always say I'm two people: I'm Sarah Michelle Gellar and I'm Sarah Prinze," she said, calling the version of her with her husband "a quieter life and a private life." Gellar stressed that strong relationships take work.

"You have to be willing to work. And that goes for relationships, friendships, anything. You have to put the work in," she said, adding that people now are more likely to replace things than repair them. She has made similar comments before, saying certain things should be kept your own and even suggesting a separate shopping card or, for men, a separate gaming card.
