They've been happily married for 22 years.
Now First Lady Michelle Obama has revealed some of the secrets about her relationship with President Barack Obama during her fourth visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is due to air on Monday.
'You don't sweat the small stuff,' she told her pal, when Ellen asked if there was anything about her husband that bugged her.

'I give him a pass now when he leaves his socks on the floor or tells that story for the 100th time and wants us to laugh at it as if it's the first time we've heard it,' she dished.
Taped on Friday, the 51-year-old also revealed one of the simple things she’s looking forward to after the presidency is over - opening windows.
'You know, the one thing people don’t realise is we can’t do little things like open windows. You know. I mean I look forward to getting in a car and rolling down the window and just letting the air hit my face,' Michelle said.
The audience howled with laughter when she added: 'I mean I haven’t been in a car with the windows open in about seven years if you can imagine that. So I’m gonna spend that first year just hanging out the window. The wind!'

The doting mother, who looked chic in a black jacket embellished with white embroidery and white trousers, also praised their daughters Sasha, 13, and Malia, 16, for the way they have coped with growing up in the White House.
'They are so typical. And I love it,' she said. 'I’m so proud of them I think they’ve just managed this interesting journey with just a lot of grace and poise. I’m really proud of them.'
As for what the family would do once the Presidency ends in 2016, Ellen asked whether she or her daughters would get into politics. The answer: 'Noooo, absolutely not.
Normal life: 'The one thing people don’t realise is we can’t do little things like open windows. I look forward to getting in a car and rolling down the window and letting the air hit my face,' Michelle said
'I just wanna help folks...and you can do that in so many different ways.'
One of those ways is the First Lady's Gimme Five exercise campaign, a Let’s Move initiative that challenges people to give her five ways they are leading a healthy life.
And she challenged Ellen to learn the new Gimme Five dance - something the host couldn't resist.
She and Michelle strutted their stuff with the So You Think You Can Dance All Stars to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars's Uptown Funk as the audience clapped along.
