We're inclined to believe Aaron Paul on this one.

The Need for Speed star opens up in the April issue of Elle about meeting his wife and how they maintain their seemingly incredibly happy marriage—and there definitely is a trick to all that marital bliss.

"People get in fights because they don't communicate, because you don't want to hurt the other person," Paul told the magazine. "If you do want to hurt the other person, then shame on you—you're an a--hole. My wife and I do not argue. We communicate. We talk. But we've never fought in our entire relationship."

You hear that...bitch?!

Paul also reveals that Breaking Bad costar Bryan Cranston gave him some very sage advice about women, presumably long before he met Parsekian at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2011.

"He knows I'm a hopeless romantic," Paul said of Cranston. "He always said, 'Do not settle.'"

Well, it sounds as if Paul got exactly the fairy tale he had been hoping for.

"Our first date after Coachella was a trip to Vegas," he told Elle. "We bought our first child a baby leather jacket from All Saints. [As far as anyone knows, they have not became parents just yet.]  We also jumped into a cab and said, ‘Take us to the nearest chapel. We're getting married.' The Little White Chapel ended up being closed.  We probably would have gone through with it. It would have been a pretty funny story. But I'm happy we got married when we did—a year later."

Paul popped the question on Dec. 31, 2011, while they were in Paris and they tied the knot in a Parisian-carnival-themed ceremony in Malibu on May 26, 2013.
