Bill Clinton offers marriage advice to five-year-old

Former US president Bill Clinton found himself questioned on the secret of a successful marriage by a five-year-old boy.

Clinton was on the campaign trail in South Carolina supporting his wife Hilary's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination when he was asked by young McKenna Chance "what do you do when you get married?"

Admitting that the question was more difficult than any he had been asked by the press, Clinton choose to steer clear of any mention of infidelity within marriage, the Associated Press reported.

"See all the press people back there? They put me through the wringer this morning, and everything I said is about to pale in comparison to what I'm now going to say.

"The best moment of my life, I think, was that I was in the hospital, in the room, with my wife when our daughter was born," he stated, adding that the best things about being married were spending your life with your best friend and having children.

Bill Clinton was famously the subject of much controversy during his time as president over his alleged infidelity with intern Monica Lewinsky.
