Budapest, Hungary – Actress Rezes Judit has opened up about the complexities of her 23-year marriage to actor Szabó Győző, revealing a relationship marked by frequent arguments but also profound personal growth. The candid conversation took place on the Hungarian talk indicate “Palikék Világa Egy ritmusban,” alongside psychologist Füredi Katica and musician Sipos Péter, as reported by Blikk and Index.
Although Sipos Péter shared that he and his wife have never raised their voices to each other in 38 years of marriage, Rezes Judit painted a very different picture. “With us, it’s quite the opposite: we argue a lot,” she stated. “Győző and I are very different and he even said that might be what drives our relationship. But it wouldn’t hurt if it were a little calmer.” The discussion centered around the enduring secrets of long-term partnerships, and how different couples navigate the challenges of maintaining a strong connection.
Rezes Judit also discussed the significant impact her relationship with Szabó Győző has had on her personal development, particularly in learning to assert herself. “I tend to keep things to myself and not speak up right away, but I learned to do that with Győző,” she explained. “I had to fight to survive; with him, I have to represent myself. He would definitely say I’m a very stubborn woman, and that’s really true.”
Past Infidelity and Forgiveness
The conversation also touched upon a difficult period in their relationship: Szabó Győző’s infidelity, which came to light when he was caught communicating with another woman via phone. Rezes Judit admitted she initially believed the betrayal would be insurmountable. “I thought you couldn’t continue a relationship after something like that,” she said. However, she also acknowledged her own shortcomings and vulnerabilities. “But I knew I was also to blame for a lot of things, and if I were a different type of person, I might have cheated on Győző too,” she confessed, as Hir36 reported.
This willingness to acknowledge her own potential for infidelity, despite not acting on it, highlights a complex and honest assessment of the dynamics within her marriage. The couple’s ability to navigate this crisis and remain together for another two decades speaks to a level of commitment and understanding that transcends simple forgiveness.
Contrasting Approaches to Long-Term Relationships
The contrast between Rezes Judit and Szabó Győző’s relationship and that of Sipos Péter and his wife offered a fascinating insight into the diverse ways couples can build lasting connections. While the Sipos’ prioritize harmony and quiet understanding – with Péter stating he hasn’t raised his voice to his wife in 38 years – the Rezes-Szabó partnership thrives on spirited debate and a willingness to confront differences. This difference in approach underscores the idea that there is no single formula for a successful marriage.
The discussion, featured on the “Egy ritmusban” podcast, explored the idea that a couple’s contrasting personalities can, in fact, be a source of strength. Szabó Győző reportedly believes their disagreements are “the engine” of their relationship, a sentiment Rezes Judit acknowledged, while also expressing a desire for a little more peace.
