Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal has given up the limelight to take on the role of a domestic housewife, putting motherhood and family first.

Gyllenhaal, 32, who is married to actor Peter Sarsgaard, 39, revealed that she is researching how to run a home by reading “Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House”.

“It doesn’t come naturally to me, organization or running a home,” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

“It’s taken some work, and I’ve been doing the work. And I really enjoy it, I’m really proud of my house,” she added.
