Inside the Secret to Dave and Odette Annable's 15-Year Marriage: 'Worth It'

Odette and Dave Annable have been married for 15 years, but the couple isn't afraid to admit that sustaining a long-term relationship takes work.

"Communication is everything," Odette, 41, reveals exclusively of their secret to success in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. "We're still figuring it out, but honestly, now we have a toolbox that we can pull from through years and years of therapy. It's hard work every single day, but it's so worth it."

Dave, 46, agrees, adding, "You both have to mirror each other's effort into working on it. You can't have one person want to work and the other not"

The actors - who share daughters Charlie, 10, and Andi, 3 - first met on the set of Brothers & Sisters before tying the knot in 2010. All these years later, though, Odette says they're still figuring out new ways to work through challenges together.

She continued: "There's a pub here, there's a hundred pools, there's the beautiful ocean, which was the thing that we were most excited about because it's just the white sand and the clear, warm water."

When they're not jetsetting, the couple resides in Austin, Texas - and they give fans a glimpse of their family life away from Hollywood via social media.

When Us pitched an Austin-based reality show to Dave and Odette, they acknowledged "there might be one in the works," though they think their domestic life could make for some great television.

"For sure. There's a little bit of drama," Odette concurred, cheekily adding, "I mean, you don't want to see what goes on in our house. It's definitely not boring. A reality show would work."

Dave agrees. "Must-watch TV," he quipped.
