The actress has recently opened up in a candid interview for InStyle magazine and shared some deep secrets about her nine-year marriage to Hollywood A-lister, Ben Affleck.

There’s a time and place for everything

It appears that the happy couple know something others don’t.

The secret is trying to be better all the time, but also knowing when to forgive and turn the blind eye.

“You can’t expect to be courted all the time, and I don’t want to court him right now – I don’t have the energy,” the actress was sincere.

“But we’re definitely in a very mindful place where we’re making an effort to be together, do things at the same time, and be loving.”

Different roles – same goal

The couple has two daughters – Violet, (8), Seraphina, (5), and a two-year-old son Samuel, and it seems that inside their household, Jennifer and Ben found the right formula and divided their parts accordingly.

“I know who wants what for lunch, and I’ve done all the school paperwork and filled out the emergency cards,” said Jennifer.

“Ben doesn’t know that stuff exist, but he is in charge of laughter. No matter how much I tickle them or toss them or chase them around, it’s not the same. If I’m the slow, steady drumbeat, he’s the jazz.

Well, one cannot really have one without the other. Kudos for them.
