According to a source, the couple try to find ways to balance the 42-year-old actor&rsquo;s busy career with the needs of their family, which includes daughters Isabella, 6, Gia, 4, Stella, 2, and Alexia, 13, Barroso&rsquo;s child from a previous relationship. <img alt="Matt Damon" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/matt_3.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 580px;" /> Matt Damon &ldquo;[Matt&rsquo;s] found the trick to having the most normal life possible,&rdquo; Us magazine quoted the source as saying. u00a0&ldquo;Luciana lets him work and is there for him when he needs. He loves coming home to her after months on set,&rdquo; the source said. These days, &ldquo;home&rdquo; means Pacific Palisades, California, where the couple shifted from the East Coast earlier this year.u00a0According to the source, they originally looked at staying in New York City, but Argentine-born Barroso, 36, preferred the sunnier, more spacious way of living in Southern California and Damon agreed. &ldquo;Luciana wanted more space for the kids, and Matt puts family first,&rdquo; the source said. u00a0In fact, Damon turned down some potentially huge career opportunities to devote more time and energy to his roles as a family man. Last year, the &lsquo;Promised Land&rsquo; actor-writer passed on a chance to direct the film as well, citing his family as the driving force behind his decision. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d been away from my kids and my wife,&rdquo; he recalled at a November 27 New York Times event. u00a0&ldquo;I&rsquo;d have had to start preproduction just a few weeks later. I couldn&rsquo;t do it. It was the right decision for my life,&rdquo; he said.

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso, who celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary on December 9, are still going strong as a couple, despite the actor's hectic schedule.
