The Little House on the Prairie star wed Busfield in 2013, just months after getting engaged. She told PEOPLE last year that it “just seemed right and inevitable” that she would marry the actor right away after meeting him.
“It sounds cliché to say it, but it really was like getting hit with a thunderbolt,” she said. “The next morning when I woke up, my first thought was, ‘I’m going to marry him,’ and then my next thought was, ‘You’re a crazy person.'”

“We have respect for one another’s opinions, respect for one another’s pasts, respect for one another’s abilities and this tacit agreement that we never really discussed that just happened, that we are partners in everything, in every decision, in every idea, in every move,” she said.
“We are one in making those decisions, and neither one of us is better at anything than the other or greater than anything than the other.”

She also said that her relationship with Busfield is the “easiest relationship” she’s ever had.
