ACTRESS Gwyneth Paltrow is happy to sacrifice her career to keep her family together.

The Iron Man 2 star — who raises two young children with her Coldplay rocker husband Chris Martin — insists she’ll always put being a wife and mother ahead of making movies.

“I could throw myself into my career and then I’d probably lose my marriage,” she told Britain’s new! magazine.

“You have to be very mindful of your balance. My family’s super important to me.

“You don’t want to get too career orientated and lose that.

“I worked so much in my twenties, and then I had these two beautiful kids and I just wanted to be home with them.

“It’s probably not the best thing for your career, but my kids are my priority. They need me at home.”

Paltrow recently admitted her marriage to Martin isn’t always easy.

“It’s honesty and support and respect. I really have an incredible amount of respect for him as a man, as a human being and as an artist,” she said.

“We have our ups and downs like every couple, but I think you have to make that commitment to invest in a life together and then you don’t get that thing if you’re single and dating or whatever.”
