Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner appeared together on the season finale of 'Saturday Night Live' to prove that their marriage is not on the rocks.

The 40-year-old actor/director addressed his Oscars acceptance speech, in which he called his marriage to Garner "work."

He noted that in many people took that word to mean "manual labor."

Affleck said but that was not it, as people define what is important to them by what they dedicate their time to.

He then invited Garner - his wife for more than seven years to join him onstage - who explained that "work" is a word they use when they talk privately about their commitment to one another, asserting that she had no idea why he used that word in front of so many people, Us magazine reported.
