All my best friends ... all their parents were married, they All married their college or high school person, they are always married. I just did not come from a world where there was a lot of divorce. "
She then explained that after doing research on the subject, she did not want her children to suffer from the negative impact that the decision took as many others.
"The most common injury I heard of divorce children was:" My parents could not be in the same room and could not be friends. It took three years, it took 18 years, it took God forbidden - the death of a close family member for them to sit at the same table, "" "said Paltrow. "I just thought," I wonder if there is a way to get around that and go directly to the point where we are friends and we remember what we liked to each other and constantly recognize that we have created these incredible human beings together ... we "re a family, that's all. We can claim that we are not, and we hate you ... or [we can] try to reinvent this for ourselves . "

In an interview with the LondonEvening The same month she explained why the term "conscious decoupling" always meant so much to her.
"The family structure can be reinvented and divorce does not have to be devastating," she said. "It's not forced to be the end of your relationship with someone ... I think Chris and I were supposed to be together and have our children. But our relationship is much better than: friends and co- parents and family. "
