'I think people walk away from marriage too early these days,' the 55-year-old said at her restaurant Pump in West Hollywood, California.

'They think ''OK there’s a problem,'' but life is full of problems and if you find that person that you really love as a partner that can hold your hand, you guide each other through it.'

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star said many marriages have failed on the show as there is can be a shift in the dynamic of the relationship and not everyone is as strong as she and Ken, 70, are.

She told the DailyMail.com: 'Sometimes when you are thrust into the spotlight on a TV show it can change a balance in a relationship. But for me, I was business woman before because we had our restaurants so I had kind of emancipation so to speak.

Be a vision in white with Lisa's Nicole Miller jumpsuit

We don't need to tell you how much we love a good jumpsuit over here at Fashion Finder.

They make for easy dressing and insta-chic styling.

Lisa Vanderpump's all in one is by Nicole Miller, and we think the plunging neckline and scalloped hem and not to mention...the sheer back make this jumpsuit a winning choice for summer.

Winners wear white after all. Lisa knows this as the entire RHOBH attended the Daily Mail party dressed in the same optic white shade.

'And I think sometimes woman are like in the housewife role at home and suddenly they are thrust into the spotlight, it can change that balance and sometimes that might be difficult to adjust in a relationship.'

Lisa is the exception with the star crediting the show for making her marriage even stronger. 

'I think it made me love him more because I’ve been through some tough times on Housewives and he has always been there and I thank him for that. Also I’m married to an amazing guy. I got a good one - I think I’m going to keep him.'

The star - who hosted the summer celebration with the DailyMail.com - said the key to a good marriage to having respect for one another and having a little fun too.

'I think respect is a key part but also humour, having a laugh and being there for each other when times are tough. You know because when you get through tough times together you can kind of bring the benefits and enjoy the good times.'

And she should know, as next month she and Ken are marking their 34th wedding anniversary.

The couple usually take a holiday together to celebrate but as they are so busy this year, a vacation may not be on the cards.

However, Lisa, who wowed in a white Nicole Miller romper, revealed she knows one way she will be celebrating: 'I’m going to have sex!'

As to whether that will be vacation sex or not is still up in the air.

Cheeky: The reality star - who shared a smooch with fellow Housewife Kyle Richards while Flipping Out's Jenni Pulos looked after Harrison - said she is so busy that she will probably have to skip going on a vacation this year and just have her anniversary sex 'in front of a load of Housewives and Vanderpump Rules cast'

'I'm filming two shows so I’ll probably do it in front of a load of Housewives and Vanderpump Rules cast,' she joked.

'[No] we will do something romantic, 34 years I think we are entitled to it.'

Lisa and Ken have also been busy working hard to try to end China's Yulin Dog Meat festival, which sees thousands of dogs brutally killed every year.

'I want to thank the Daily Mail for covering my fight against Yulin because our lives have been dedicated for the last year to the fight against dog torture in Asia.

'I think we kind of minimized [the festival] a little but we had so much support from people like you.'

Lisa currently has eight dogs of her own and both Giggy and new Pom Harrison were in attendance at the White Party, in their best outfits of course.

Lisa has long been a reader of the Daily Mail - and even made her first newspaper appearance in it in the Seventies - so said it was great to now be able to come together with DailyMail.com.
