Meredith Vieira focuses on reconnecting with husband after quitting $10m Today Show job

For years, she juggled 2.30am wake-up calls and a demanding TV job with her family life.
Now Meredith Vieira is adjusting to a new pace after leaving her $10 million job on the Today Show in June. 
The 53-year-old said she has been focusing on 'reconnecting' with her with her husband Richard Cohen, who has multiple sclerosis.
'There's a dance to relationships, and we had been doing a little bit of the dancing side by side but not together,' she says in the September issue of America's Good Housekeeping magazine.
'Now, we're back together, and we've got to figure out the rhythm of that dance. That kind of reconnecting is really important.'
At the time of her departure, there was speculation she was leaving to nurse Cohen, a journalist with whom she has three children; 22-year-old Ben who recently graduated from Stanford, Gabe, 19, and Lily, 18.
But she maintains he continues to be 'self-sufficient'.
