Gyllenhaal 'sacrifices for her husband'

Maggie Gyllenhaal has revealed that she 'finds pleasure' in 'making sacrifices' for her husband Peter Sarsgaard.

The Dark Knight star married the actor last year and they have a 3-year-old daughter together.

Gyllenhaal thanked actress Emma Thompson for 'giving her the idea to be devoted' to her partner.

She told Good Housekeeping: "Emma, you kind of gave me the idea that a part of my life, a part of my mind, has to be devoted to my husband. My mother's generation has been bucking against that.

"But I've just been finding so much pleasure in sacrificing sometimes for my husband - going to where he's working and tidying up his trailer because he couldn't manage to do it, and bringing him things that will make him feel better, and being a wife in a more classical way. It feels really right to me."
