He detailed some of the steps he took to get the couple’s relationship back on track during its tainted years. After finding God, Phil Robertson said his worldview and marriage dramatically changed.

Phil Robertson told Extra’s Maria Menounos that the note originated long ago when his wife asked him if he loved her.

“I said yes and she said, <<Write it down>>. So I scribbled, <<Miss Kay, I love you. I always have and I always will>>,” he explained.

That note is still taped over the couple’s headboard, serving as a daily reminder to them both.

So, despite their on-screen love, like any married couple, Phil and Miss Kay Robertson have had their share of fights and problems.

Along the way, they hit some speed bumps.

“He had about 10 hard years,” Miss Kay Robertson told Maria Menounos of the troubles they experienced.

“He didn’t act nice like he does now, especially when he was drinking. He was real selfish and didn’t want to be responsible.”

Phil Robertson chimed in an added that his behavior came at a time “when there was no Jesus” in his life.

“I was following the ways of the world. I was raised in the ’60s,” he said.
