00:11And RadarOnline.com can reveal the confession has sparked fresh fears

00:15the couple's relationship may be under strain after 15 years together.

00:19The 83-year-old actor, known for roles in Star Wars and Indiana Jones,

00:24has been married to Flockhart, 61, since 2010.

00:27During an interview on NPR's Wild Card with Rachel Martin,

00:32Ford spoke openly about the effort required to maintain intimacy at his age.

00:37Asked about what life experience had taught him about love, he said,

00:40Old people can love, too.

00:42You know, you think about falling in love and all of that business.

00:46You think it's the business of youth or something, you know.

00:48And staying in love is the issue.

00:50Maintaining, nurturing, basically, not effing up.

00:53He then joked about the ups and downs of married life.

00:57When host Martin marked that everyone in a relationship works on love every day,

01:02Ford replied, with some days off for bad behavior.

01:05The candid remarks have fueled speculation all is not well at home.

01:09One source close to the couple claimed,

01:11Harrison and Calista adore each other,

01:13but staying connected after 15 years has not been simple.

01:17He admits it openly, keeping the spark takes work,

01:20and some friends fear their marriage is under pressure.

01:23Another added,

01:24There are whispers that Calista feels the weight of his age and his constant filming schedule.

01:29She loves him deeply, but it is not always easy.

01:32Ford and Flockhart first met at the Golden Globe Awards in 2002 and began dating soon afterward.

01:38Though rumors circulated the actress had once thrown a drink on him,

01:41both later laughed it off in a joint interview,

01:44with Flockhart teasing that it was Ford himself who had spilled the wine.

01:48The couple married in June 2010 in a private ceremony in Santa Fe, New Mexico,

01:53where Ford was filming cowboys and aliens.

01:56Ford proposed on Valentine's Day,

01:58and the marriage was attended only by immediate family.

02:01He adopted Flockhart's son, Liam, now 22,

02:04whom she adopted in 2001.

02:06I think Liam was about six or eight months old when I met him and Calista.

02:10We have been together ever since, Ford said.

02:13His previous marriages include Mary Marquart, with two sons,

02:17and Melissa Matheson, with a son and daughter.

02:19Despite those divorces, Ford has insisted in the past,

02:23things turned out all right for everybody.

02:25Yet, his candid acknowledgement that sustaining love is the issue

02:28now casts doubt over their relationship's longevity.

02:31A longtime family friend revealed Calista has supported him through challenges,

02:35but tension remains.

02:37Harrison admits marriage demands hard work,

02:39and Calista fears becoming another ex-wife.

02:42She needs reassurance her efforts are valued.
