Most men need a wife to pump up their ego. Jeffrey needed me to puncture his: A fascinating insight into a famously colourful marriage by MARY ARCHER

Married for 47 years: Mary and Jeffrey Archer
One thing my husband has certainly never lacked is self-confidence. Right from the start, when we met at Oxford in our 20s, he had lashings of it — matched only by his ebullience and impetuosity.So when I read this week that Julian Fellowes attributes his success to the confidence bestowed by marriage, I laughed. For although I recognised the sentiment, this was one attribute Jeffrey was never lacking in. While there’s no doubt our 47-year-long marriage is at the root of Jeffrey’s enduring success, I would say that his success is thanks to my grounding influence, rather than my boosting his self-esteem. Married people are perhaps more willing to take the risks which often lead to success, in the knowledge that someone will always be there — through the ups and the downs — to provide a safety blanket for them.As A.A. Milne wrote in his wonderful poem Us Two, ‘Wherever I am there’s always Pooh/ There’s always Pooh and me.’ Of course, there have been some very public troughs, but our marriage has proved robust. We have always supported each other.Many people have questioned why I didn’t leave Jeffrey when he was unfaithful, but the way I see it, no one is perfect. Jeffrey certainly isn’t — but then again, neither am I.

To walk out of a marriage tears such a chunk out of your life. The bargain is for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health,Infidelity is not helpful, but it doesn’t have to be terminal either. It was I who chose to have a career which took me to Cambridge, while Jeffrey remained in London . . .It might sound unfeeling, but the occasional infidelity is not fundamental to me. Other things — loyalty in the broader sense, kindness and a loving attitude to children and family, for example — are far more significant.I think indifference is the worst. To be married to someone who doesn’t care about you must be truly awful.

Indeed, while I’ve helped Jeffrey along the way, I have certainly benefitted from our relationship as well. If it weren’t for my husband’s influence, I would have remained hidden away in my ivory tower: a bookish academic with no grasp on the myriad joys of life outside.Although I was never an anxious type, my confidence didn’t match Jeffrey’s. I hated public speaking so he spent hours coaching me — he still does — how to vary my pitch and add in the odd joke, which I find difficult.I think in a marriage your personalities gradu you grow more similar over the years.Initially, though, it was our differences that brought us together. We first met at a party given by newspaper editor Nick Lloyd and I thought Jeffrey so alive.Having been to boarding school, I had led a relatively quiet life. I was mightily impressed by all the things Jeffrey did — such as bringing the Beatles up to Oxford to support an Oxfam campaign in 1963.He had tremendous vivacity, an in-built energy. Life with Jeffrey would be led in the fast lane: our marriage was — and is — never boring.In terms of what drew him to me, he was never an academic so I think he was impressed by my conventional brains: the good school grades and later my first-class degree.Although I must add I think he
fell for my looks, too: he is a man, after all!But when we married in Great St Mary’s Church in Oxford in July 1966, I remember my father said to Jeffrey: ‘By all means marry Mary, but promise not to stop her from doing what she wants with her career.’I wish my father, who died in 1971, had
lived long enough to see that Jeffrey has always kept that promise. My
job meant I wasn’t always around as much as I would have liked, but
Jeffrey never complained.
For better and for worse: Mary leaving the High Court with Jeffrey in 1987 during his successful libel action against the Daily Star
Although in the early days of our marriage, his career was far more prominent than mine. After obtaining a diploma in education, he was elected to the Greater London Council as one of three members for Havering and started a couple of companies. By the age of 29, he’d been elected to parliament as MP for the Lincolnshire borough of Louth. I gave him stability he needed — not in terms of slippers and a hot meal — but emotional support. Success, sure enough, followed. Our marriage helped him in other ways, too. In those days the Tory Party looked at the candidate’s wife to see if she was suitable. I was working as a post-doctoral fellow at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, so that ticked a few boxes.Meanwhile, I went on to have our sons, William, now 41, and James, 39.The first hurdle we faced as a
family was the Aquablast catastrophe in 1974 — an investment in a Canadian company which proved fraudulent and sadly forced Jeffrey to leave Parliament.We had two young children and had to leave our lovely, large five-bedroomed house in The Boltons, in South Kensington, and rent a small house in Cambridge.It was a very difficult time and many other relationships would have splintered, but we got through it. I seldom lose my temper —
what’s the point? — and I think my serenity in hard times has helped Jeffrey turn the situation to his advantage. And, in truth, deep down I felt a certain pride that I could be the one to keep the show on the road.Just before we left our home in London, I remember him announcing: ‘I am going to write a novel!’ And that’s how his extraordinarily successful writing career began. It greatly amused me at the time because he’d hardly even written a letter before that, but I just said: ‘OK, go ahead.’ I didn’t scoff or try to put him off.He’s always been one who requires peace
and quiet to work — not like JK Rowling, who can write in busy cafés —
so he took went to stay in a friend’s spare room for six weeks. Again I
respected this decision without complaint.
Long-lasting: Mary says that after decades of marriage, since 1966, she seldom loses her temper
When he returned with reams of paper, I settled down to read
them and I was very impressed. Some people have said it was
me who made his books
readable, but no, no, no, that’s not the case at all.Yes, I used to copy-edit the early books, because I’ve always been better with commas than Jeffrey, but I couldn’t invent a compelling story to save my life. Any help I have given him through our
marriage certainly hasn’t been in that way.Jeffrey found himself an agent who worked very hard — she had to try 18 different publishers before his first book, Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less, was accepted.I don’t think either of us realised how difficult it is to get a book published. I certainly never imagined the success writing would bring
Jeffrey: at first I simply thought it would be nice for him to have something published, but that he’d then go out and get a proper job!It wasn’t until his third book, Kane And Abel, which had great international success, that things really took off. That enabled us to buy the Old Vicarage in Grantchester — from where I’m writing this.Today, we lead a peaceful life. But when in 2010 I suffered bowel cancer, Jeffrey really came into his own. He has always had a positive attitude and although deeply worried, he had an innate sense I would sail through. It really takes the strain off you when you have someone like that around. And he was right. Well, I didn’t sail through, exactly, but I survived and thrived — I am very pleased with the new bladder they fashioned from half a metre of my small intestine.His support helped me to take up a portfolio career again, chairing four different organisations that work in the field of healthcare, which I love. While these days Jeffrey is working hard on the Clifton Chronicles, his saga of the intertwined lives of two families.
We have had difficult moments over the decades, but you have to work through these things.
The rewards for this are the mutual tolerance and respect we have for each other. Not to mention the incredible bond that binds us after all the drama, both private and public.For a successful long-term relationship is one that gradually wears away your rough edges over time, leaving a smooth and harmonious interface between the two partners. Not only can marriage boost a career, and heighten one’s success, it helps you become a better
version of yourself — as I’m sure Jeffrey would agree.n Mary Archer’s fee for this article is being donated to Addenbrooke’s Abroad (actcharity.org.uk/abroad)
