Denzel Washington said his "biggest lifetime achievement" is his wife Pauletta. How romantic! In an interview with PEOPLE, the Oscar-winning actor bared his heart:

40 years of sacrifice. 40 years of forgiveness. She taught me about faith, spirituality, love, real love, unwavering love, in spite of myself. I would not be alive without Pauletta Washington. I wouldn’t survive.
