HOLLYWOOD - Newlywed actress Jennifer Garner is remaining open-minded about the long-termfuture of her marriage with Ben Affleck, because she knows the partnership
takes "hard work."
The pregnant Alias beauty, 33, was previously married to Felicity star Scott Foley,
until it ended in divorce last year.
After a brief romance with her Alias co-star Michael Vartan, Garner began
dating Affleck in July 2004 and married him in an
intimate ceremony in the Caribbean in June.
Despite admitting she "couldn't be happier," Garner admits she doesn't
believe marriage guarantees a happy ending.
She tells InStyle magazine, "I don't have this fantasy about marriage
anymore.
"Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does--and I'm much more
pragmatic about romance than I used to be.
"[With Scott] I wanted to see him as a white knight and was crushed whenever
anything normal happened. I wanted to be the princess. Now I'm much more
willing to see myself as human and flawed, and accept someone--the whole
picture.
"My life is definitely changing for the better. I couldn't be happier or feel
more comfortable with the direction it's going in."
