Rachael Finch reveals the secrets to her eight-year marriage with husband Michael Miziner

Rachael Finch and her husband Michael Miziner celebrated eight years of marriage in January.

And three months after celebrating their anniversary, the model, 32, has shared the secret to their long and happy relationship.

In an Instagram Q&A, the former Miss Universe Australia told fans compromise and communication are key for a successful marriage.

‘What are ways to create and support a happy marriage?’ one fan asked Rachael.

She explained:'[It’s important to] work together, learn to compromise, communicate, continue to evolve as a couple, take time out for just the two of you, to keep an open mind and find fun in every day.’

Rachael met her husband Michael on the 2010 season of Dancing With The Stars – he was her dance partner, and she a contestant.

The couple, who married in 2013, now balance parenthood with a burgeoning fitness empire.

They share daughter Violet, seven, and son Dominic, three.

In January, Rachael and Michael celebrated their wedding anniversary by sharing a video to Instagram in which they did a couples quiz, hosted by Rachael’s sister.

As Rachael and Michael sat on their bed, the 32-year-old model giggled as her sister fired off sweet questions.

Those questions included, ‘Who initiated the first kiss’ and Rachael pointed to herself to indicate it was her.

Asked who was ‘more patient’, Michael said it was him, and he also said ‘I love you’ first. Michael likewise said he was the ‘social butterfly’ of the pair, but Rachael was more likely to get a tattoo. 

Alongside the video, the beauty wrote:  ‘It’s our wedding anniversary today. Married 8 years, together for 11. Feels like 5 minutes.’

‘How did I get so lucky @mikemiziner? I couldn’t imagine my life any other way,’ she added.
