Violet Magazine >> Billie & Joe
In the last issue of Violet we featured Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and his wife Billie talking about their family and how they manage their busy lives while on the road and at home. Since then Billie and Joe have offered to write a relationship advice column for Violet. This year they'll be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, deserving of major accolades for keeping it together so great a time in a rock n roll marriage. If you have a question you'd like to ask them regarding relastionship advice, contact them at billieandjoe@violetmagazine.com. The following is their first installment: Billie and Joe talking with one another about what they find important in their own relationship.
[Billie] What advice would have to give a couple raising a blended family?
[Joe] Make the children understand they weren't responsible, nor your new partner, for the breakup of the previous marriage. Treat the children from both families equally, even in the most subtle of ways.
[Billie] What advice do you have for success in a long-term marriage?
[Joe] Take it day by day, very important. Don't do anything to your wife you would not want her doing back to you.
[Billie] Do you have any regrets as a parent?
[Joe] Yes, not fighting for more custody time with my first son Adrian.
[Joe] As a parent you listen to your insticts. Does that come naturally?
[Billie] I've read a lot of child development books. I've deal with my family-of-origin issues. I ask for advice from people I look up to and trust. I pray.
[Joe] Any regrets giving up your 12-year career as a character actress and model for the family? Does it have to be one way or the other?
[Billie] I made a choice to put my family first. I am not Superwoman. I couldn't have done it all and done it well. When I feel regretful, I do something creative. It had to be this way for me. You wanted me to travel and help you with your career.
[Joe] All kids need discipline. What is your philosophy on this important subject?
[Billie] If possible, both parents need to share the load. No physical punishment. Remove and substitute, time outs, losing priviledges. Sticking to my guns. However, if I've made a hasty judgement, I will tell them I am sorry and ask for their forgiveness. I also make them do the same if they have hurt someone or broken a rule.
[Some Items Of Interest In The Perry Family]

You know I used to be immature and I used to "hate" the wives/girlfriends of the artists I liked...but I really admire those two!!It must be really hard to keep a marriage when you're a celebrity or you're married to a celebrity but those two are happily married for 20 years and still in love!!Congrats to them! _________________ www.myspace.com/pinkievixx

I grabbed this baby back in 2005, and was happily stuck in traffic on the way home and read the article. How sweet are they? I love that article. _________________ -Lindz
