Jon Bon Jovi's secret to a happy marriage: fear. The Bon Jovi frontman reveals his 20-year marriage to karate instructor Dorothea is sound because he is terrified of her.

The rocker and his missus' marriage hits platinum Wednesday. And while people are used to seeing other celebrities' matrimony go down the drain, the 47-year-old singer/actor is confident his will last forever.

He quipped at the Food Bank for Can-Do Awards dinner in New York, "Let's get that right here, right now. I'm afraid of my wife. Best investment I ever made."

But seriously, Jovi said his wife is "the best. I'm very happy."

The couple have four children together: Stephanie Rose (born 1993), Jesse James Louis (born 1995), Jacob Hurley (born 2002), and Romeo Jon (born 2004).
