Zoe Saldana says the reason for her successful marriage is due to complete transparency and “unconditional support” for one another.

The Guardians of the Galaxy actress – who is married to Marco Parego – explained how everything is meticulously planned in order to help prevent issues and arguments.

She told Los Angeles Confidential magazine: “We plan everything together – that way nobody feels slighted. We’re unconditional with each other: unconditionally supportive of each other’s careers, and professions, and desires, and goals. But we can only be this by having absolute transparency.

When we hit a road block, then we take the time to figure how we’re going to move that block and keep moving on down the road.”

And the actress – who has two children with the artist – thanks motherhood for having gained more energy on a daily basis.

“I would think it would slow me down and it hasn’t. I have all this energy now for so many things that I want to do. It’s fantastic having twins. This is something that we certainly didn’t plan for.

We wanted to start a family, but being blessed with a two-in-one shot is great. I grew up in a family of women. Now I have these three gentlemen who I’m living with, and who are just Mowglis: savages and super playful and spontaneous. I’m encouraged to keep up. I drank the Kool-Aid, and I love it!”

Speaking of which, Zoe admitted she would often cry when she had to spend time away from her children, adding: “The first week back at work, I think I cried every day in my trailer. But I remember as soon as they would tell me ‘We’re ready for you on set,’ I would still skip to set. I love what I do. You do need to rest, you do need to have a moment to yourself, but right now this is my life as I know it.”
