Actress Gwyneth Paltrow knows best that Hollywood-type relationships are the ones that don't usually last. In her GOOP newsletter, Gwyneth gives readers long-term relationship advice.

“A long-term relationship between two people is an ever-evolving organism. Some stay the course, some fall, all stumble.”

“asked a few very wise women, most of whom are in varying forms of longtime partnerships, for their insights.”

She asked for the insights of Monica Berg, a spiritual teacher and creative director at L.A.’s Kabbalah Center.

"There are no stable marriages. There may be happy ones, but not stable ones. Either we are growing forward or falling backwards. This is true in all areas of our life … which is why I believe nurturing relationships is so important. We owe it to ourselves and those we love not to settle for mediocrity in any way, and instead to nurture and allow our relationships to become the source of joy, support and love that they were intended to be," Berg advised.

Gwyneth was previously engaged to Brad Pitt and also dated Ben Affleck until finally settling down with her now-husband of five years, Chris Martin.
