Of course. That’s part of relationships. It’s part of marriages. It’s part of having children. It’s part of having responsibilities.” Read more at [ET.com](http://www.etonline.com/news/208799%5Fdavid%5Fbeckham%5Freveals%5Fhe%5Frenewed%5Fwedding%5Fvows%5Fwith%5Fvictoria%5Fbeckham%5Fmarriage%5Fis%5Fdifficult%5Fat%5Ftimes/) David and Victoria Beckham Renew Wedding Vows ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4653323/david-victoria-beckham-wedding-vows/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4653323/david-victoria-beckham-wedding-vows/"},"headline":"Victoria and David Beckham Recently Renewed Their Vows","datePublished":"2017-01-30T17:23:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:04:35.538Z","description":"‘We all know marriage is difficult at times’","url":"https://time.com/4653323/david-victoria-beckham-wedding-vows/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt405e5d5d9e226fd2/6988b7d097cdffc6ca6af4e1/victoria-david-beckham-marriage.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Lasher","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-lasher/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt405e5d5d9e226fd2/6988b7d097cdffc6ca6af4e1/victoria-david-beckham-marriage.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"British Fashion Awards 2015 - Red Carpet Arrivals","caption":"David Beckham and Victoria Beckham attend the British Fashion Awards 2015 at London Coliseum on November 23, 2015 in London, England.","creditText":"Anthony Harvey—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4653323/david-victoria-beckham-wedding-vows/","name":"Victoria and David Beckham Recently Renewed Their Vows"}}]}] ```
