Angelina Jolie, the "Maleficent" actress, made an appearance Tuesday on the Today Show and got candid about how life has changed after her marriage to husband Brad Pitt.

Jolie and Pitt have been married just three months and the wedding has actually changed their relationship in certain ways. She confessed that the marriage somehow increased the comfort and security in their relationship.

"It did change in just a feeling of that security and comfort that we always had but that recommitting after ten years of being together," Jolie said on The Today Show.

Jolie and Pitt have been together 10 years and were engaged for two years before they finally said "I Do." The couple wed at an intimate ceremony at Chateau Miraval in France. Their kids were also involved in the nuptials and they also wrote some of their wedding vows.

"...it was all of us agreeing to be together and to commit to this life together - not because we had to, not because anything was missing in our lives, but because we were absolutely sure," she said on the show.

Jolie and Pitt met on the sets of their film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and fell in love almost instantly. Their's was a fairy-tale like love story but like all real-life couples, they had to face difficulties too. But they made it through all the years.

Now that they are wed, Jolie wants to be a better wife to Pitt.

"I think we have more moments where I say, 'I'm going to be a better wife. I'm going to learn to cook,' and he says, 'Oh honey, know what you're good at, know what you're not,'" she said on The Today Show.

"But I do have my, 'No, no, no I'm going to get this wife thing down,' but he knows my limitations and where I'm a good wife and a good mom."

Pitt and Jolie will soon be co-starring in "By The Sea," their first film since "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." The couple started filming for the movie on the first day of their honeymoon.

"It felt like the appropriate thing to do on our honeymoon. We wanted to try things; we wanted to push each other; we wanted to be artists and see what we could make. I'm sure I had many moments with the actor, and I'm sure he had many moments with the director," she added on the show.

In a separate interview with Jon Snow on Channel 4 News, Jolie said shooting for "By The Sea" - which is a story about a couple trying to save their troubled marriage - was emotionally taxing for both of them but they emerged victorious and eventually, their personally relationship strengthened too.

'It [was] uncomfortable but we've already shot it, we've survived it and we're stronger for it,' she said, according to the Daily Mail.

"We couldn't be in a better position to push each other in these ways, and we pushed each other but it was good," she added.
