JACK Black thinks being a good husband is like being a gardener.
The Gulliver's Travels actor - who has sons Sammy, 4, and Thomas, 2, with wife Tanya Haden - believes care, attention and communication are key to a lasting relationship, though he admits he occasionally gets carried away with following his wife's wishes.
He says: "Being a good husband is like being a gardener. You've got to give your partner lots of water and sunshine, love and support. Communication is key - listening and sharing, finding a good TV show to watch together. My wife and I have really been into Project Runway.
"It's also important to ask for what you want. I have a tendency to do whatever my wife wants, and then anger builds up inside. It's better to just communicate your desires from the get-go. Such an obvious discovery at the age of 41!"
As well as his tips for being a good husband, Black also reveals what he thinks makes him a good father - getting enough rest so he is able to keep up with his sons' energy levels. "My best piece of parenting advice? Never try to make a happy child happier. Just leave it alone."
Nurture your wife like a plant
