Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's marriage is the kind of partnership that extends beyond their home life. The couple, who married in 2009, are touted as two of the key figures in Donald Trump's campaign for president. However, being Donald Trump's kids -- or in Jared's case, his in-law -- puts Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's marriage in the headlines almost every day.
What do this power couple do to help Donald Trump's campaign? How do they manage to make their marriage work despite the stress of being Donald Trump's children?
Ivanka Trump once said that her biggest role in the campaign is being daughter to his father, as it should be. "His campaign is his campaign," the businesswoman implied via CNN. But because she has worked with her father for so long, she does counsel the elder Trump on certain issues, whether this is asked of her not.
While Ivanka discusses issues with her father, The New Yorker calls Jared Kushner as Donald Trump's "de facto campaign manager." The son-in-law is apparently one of the people who influenced Donald Trump's pick for running mate.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner also serve as liaisons for their dad for various people. They are impressively connected with influential individuals, especially Jared, who runs real estate and publishing companies.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's marriage doesn't seem to be swayed by the rigors of politics. In fact, while Donald Trump's campaign has proceeded during this summer, the younger Trump couple have gone on vacations together.
Interestingly enough, it's religion -- and not politics nor business -- that broke up Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's relationship when they were younger. According to JTA, Ivanka and Jared parted ways a year before they were to get married because of differences in religious beliefs.
But as things went, Ivanka soon converted from Presbyterian to Judaism, which is Jared's religion. Ivanka Trump credits her new faith to strengthening her marriage and family. "I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity," she told Vogue.
