Actor Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso have made a pact which allows them to stay apart for more than 15 days.
The couple has been married for eight years and has four daughters - Alexia, 14, Isabella, 6, Gia, 4, and 2-year-old Stella - and miss each other when they are not together.
"With my wife, we've established a rule of having 15 days apart maximum, and we never break it. However ... I've actually just broken it by being away from her and my daughters for 16 days, it was way too long," femalefirst.co.uk. quoted Damon as saying.
Damon feels one realises the importance of staying close to family with advancing age.
"From the age of 40, time becomes precious, and any separation from my family is very hard," he said.
