Gwyneth Paltrow recently gave some great marriage advice to readers in her interview with Harper's Bazaar. She said, "If you want what you're saying you want -- a family -- you have to be a wife, and that is part of the equation." She was referring to her talk with a friend of hers who is an actress "in a new relationship with someone else with a big career," and said, "You have to compromise."

She knows many feminists would have something to say about this comment. She remarked that "Gloria Steinem may string me up by my toes, but all I can do is my best, and I can do only what works for me and my family."

I agree! She is giving advice on what works for her and I think it is great. I'm one of those people that absolutely loves to hate Gwyneth, but I actually agree with her and think she is giving out great advice. When you want a family, it isn't all about you. She did point out that her husband is an incredible partner. He takes over parenting duties when she is away. So, it seems they have figured out the give and take of a relationship.

What do you think of Gwyneth's advice? What is your advice for women who are getting married or newly married?
