After a public fight with Pitt drove her into the arms of a cigarette last month, Jolie explained the onslaught of stress she faces from her perfect family.
"Maintaining a marriage and raising kids is hard work. You have to really make sure that your work doesn't get in the way. That you don't do something that is going to put too much strain on your family," Jolie tells the Weekly.
For example:
"We have more moments where I say, 'I'm going to be a better wife,'" she recently told Today. "'I'm going to learn to cook.' and [Brad] says, 'Oh, honey, know what you're good at.' ... But I do like, 'No, no, no, I'm going to get this wife thing down.' He knows my limitations and where I'm a good wife and a good mom."
