While speaking to Kotb and Bush Hager on 'The Today Show', Biel said, "But I think it is important to go on date nights. You have to take the time for yourself. It's so hard. I'm trying to take my own advice. I'm not good at it and I'm still working on finding that balance in my life."
In the meantime, she talked about how she is bringing up her children to be "curious about the world", as it's vital to perceive various cultures while referring to her being a "constant student" herself "[I'm trying to teach them about] Being curious about the world, being curious about other places you're not from, that you have never been to. That is important to me. "I am a constant student of the world and I hope my kids have that same love as well", she added.
The hosts were also curious about how her marriage with Justin is going and what has changed over the years. "It feels so, I don't know, a combination of incredibly safe," Biel noted. "And I guess deep understanding of another person. But then also just, I guess, the safety to adventure again and sort of be curious about the world again as a couple and as individuals."
"Justin always says, 'We cannot stop dating, we have to keep dating,'" she shared. "And he's right, you have to go on date nights. You have to take that time for yourself."
On October 19, the couple officially celebrated their marriage of 10 years. The Grammy winner took to Instagram to post, "10 years ain't enough, You make me a better husband and father every day! I love you so much you beautiful human! Run it back!"
