What's the hardest part about their marriage?

"Probably our artistic temperaments together," Paltrow said. "Artists are sensitive; there are ups and downs, mood-wise. Musicians need a certain gravitas and focus in order to write."

The actress is set to reprise her role as Pepper Potts in the upcoming Iron Man 3, and Martin has been touring with Coldplay for their Mylo Xyloto album. Paltrow explained, "The temperament that goes with someone who is creative can be challenging."

"Of course," she added, "I'm old now!'
