Michael Bublé: You’ve got to like who you love

Michael Bublé reveals that his father gave him the secret to sustaining a fulfilling marriage.

The 37-year-old Canadian singer and Argentine actress-and-model Luisana Lopilato have been married since 2011. The couple recently announced that they are expecting their first child.

With the new arrival on the way, Michael solicited advice about relationships from his father.

"I'm more in love with my wife than I ever was," Michael told Entertainment Tonight Canada on Tuesday.

"I had my mom and dad over the other night and … I asked them, 'How do [you] do it?' My dad said, 'I love your mom a lot, but the key is I like her. We fight … but we like each other. Honestly, I never had a woman in my life where I didn't need anyone else. I didn't need to go on holiday with another couple — just with her, she drives me nuts enough.' "

Pregnant Luisana is having odd cravings at the moment.

"Some women they crave pickles or ice cream. My wife wants blood sausages. Sausage made of congealed blood," Michael laughed.

"And I promise you, she hated it her whole life and now she said, 'Mike, I want some blood sausage,' and it's like, 'What the hell?' "

Michael is eager to take on his new role as father.

Although he believes his career is "important", the star's personal life will take precedence.

"I used to go for a month and a half or a month and then I would take a week off. And now the schedule is three weeks on, two weeks off," Michael said.

"I just don't want to look back and say, 'God, I should have been there more,' because I have a feeling that I'll never look back and say, 'Jeez, I should have worked more.' "
