Jennifer Lopez, Alex Rodriguez asked Ruth Bader Ginsburg for marriage advice
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are determined to make their impending marriage work — thanks to some help from a Supreme Court Justice.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg — who recently completed treatment for pancreatic cancer — said Saturday at the National Book Festival that Lopez, 50, and Rodriguez, 44, asked her for relationship advice.
"I was called up about a month or so ago by Jennifer Lopez, and she said she would like to meet me and introduce her fiance Alex Rodriguez," she recalled. "So they came to chambers, and we had a very nice visit. She mostly wanted to ask if I had any secret about a happy marriage. But now, A-Rod is traveling with her to concerts all over the world."

Ginsburg, 86, was married to husband Marty for more than 50 years until his death in 2010. She says that her own mother-in-law gave her great marriage advice on her wedding day.

What were the wise words?
She said with a chuckle that her mother-in-law told her, "It helps sometimes to be a little deaf."
