MATT Damon has credited his wife for keeping their family together while he heads off to work.

The actor — who raises three kids with Luciana Barroso (and has another on the way) — says their family life runs smoothly because his spouse is so understanding.

“She really keeps it together,” Damon told People magazine.

“We just talk it out and work it all out. You say, this is the job and this is the time commitment and this is where it will be. I’m a lot easier to hire if you’re doing movies in New York.”

Damon has previously insisted that his kids help keep him grounded and his family is his main priority.

“It’s pretty easy to kind of lose your way,” he said. “I think working consistently with great people is really helpful. Also having kids is really helpful. They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly.

“There’s a routine that you get into with kids that precludes you from going back to your single days. I’m probably more boring than I used to be. I go to bed earlier and I get up earlier.”
