Melissa Joan Hart shares secrets to her marital success after celebrating 20th wedding anniversary
Melissa Joan Hart explained it all — or at least some of her secrets for keeping a successful marriage intact for two decades.
The “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” star celebrated her 20th wedding anniversary with husband Mark Wilkerson in July.
Speaking exclusively to Fox News Digital at ’90sCon, Hart joked that counting the years she’s been married to Tinseltown is a lot like counting in “dog years.”

“Twenty years of marriage in the Hollywood years… it’s like, you know, you count them as dog years,” she said. “I guess we had about 140 years of marriage during the Hollywood years.”
Wilkerson, the former Course of Nature singer, and Hart met at the Kentucky Derby in 2002 and married in Italy the following year.
She said that while 20 years of life and love isn’t always an easy journey, they are both committed to staying with each other during the journey.

Hart added: “It’s just about making that commitment and sticking to it and trusting yourself and giving yourself grace, really.”
