Barry Williams is keeping his marriage strong with a few secrets he’s learned along the way.

The Brady Bunch alum, who’s been married to Tina Mahina for over six years and together for 10, told Fox News that he takes "a page right out of the Disney book” when it comes to pleasing his wife.

“Make her your princess,” he added.

As Williams, 69, competes on this season’s Dancing with the Stars, he revealed that Mahina has been “practicing” her own “dance moves” at home.

“When I come back, we can book a cruise somewhere that has a ballroom floor," he said, sharing how the couple keeps things exciting.

Last week, Williams revealed his intentions to “carry the torch” for his late Brady Bunch television mom Florence Henderson with his run on the competitive dance show.

His arrival on the popular ABC competition series comes 13 years after Henderson — who died in November 2016 at age 82 — competed on the show's 11th season in 2010.

In his DWTS ballroom debut, the actor — who portrayed Greg Brady on the beloved sitcom — performed a fox trot to "It's a Sunshine Day" by The Brady Bunch with partner Peta Murgatroyd.

"I try and channel Florence Henderson, who encouraged me to pursue an invitation for Dancing with the Stars," he explained. "Being familiar with my theatrical background, she felt that I could do very well. And at that time, she had just been eliminated and asked if I would carry the torch."

The Brady Bunch cast has remained close in the years since it concluded in 1974 after five seasons. Because of that, Williams revealed that he’s hopeful that some of his former costars will soon hit the ballroom to cheer him on as he competes for the newly renamed Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Already, Susan Olsen, who played his younger sister Cindy Brady, was in attendance.

"They've all been invited, so we'll see," he said. "I have Christopher Knight on my guest list for next week. He and I do a podcast called The Real Brady Bros, which is an episodic recap. We each watch an episode and then dissect it on our podcast and the details, what we were thinking, what our perspectives are now, et cetera. But it's very Brady and he's very supportive and that brings us into contact on a very regular basis."

Williams added, "Maureen [McCormick] has reached out several times, cheering me on, and hopefully, she will come. Hopefully, they'll all come ... I have a lot of Brady support."
