Garner acknowledged the couple's strong partnership in raising their kids. "We both know we couldn't do what we do without each other. Ben always says, 'If you love it, we can make it happen.'

Affleck, seen here with Garner at the 2013 Academy Awards, credited his wife for helping him turn his career around. "Getting to know her, falling in love with her and being connected with her gave me a foundation to reach out and say, 'Okay, I'm going to do Hollywoodland. I'm going to direct Gone Baby Gone. Those were the steps forward I needed to put positive things on the board."
