They've only been married for three months.

But Angelina Jolie revealed she already yearns to be a better wife and homemaker to husband Brad Pitt while on Tuesday's episode of NBC's Today Show.

'We have moments where I say, "I’m going to be a better wife! I’m going to learn to cook,"' the 39-year-old actress told Tom Brokaw.

'And he says, "Oh honey, just know what you’re good at, know what you’re not." But I do have my moments where I'm like, "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.'

The A-listers known as 'Brangelina' tied the knot on August 23 at their French estate, the Château Miraval, at the urging of their children.

'It did change [things],' the two-time Oscar winner said of marriage.

The 39-year-old actress told Tom Brokaw: 'We have moments where I say, "I’m going to be a better wife! I’m going to learn to cook!" And he says, "Oh honey, just know what you’re good at, know what you’re not"'

The two-time Oscar winner said of marriage: 'It did change [things]. It was in just a feeling of that security and comfort that we always had, but recommitting after 10 years of being together'

'It was in just a feeling of that security and comfort that we always had, but recommitting after 10 years of being together. And we were fortunate enough to be in that unusual situation where we got married with our children, and they were a part of the ceremony and they wrote some of the vows.

'So 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. We felt that much of a family. It was really lovely, it was a lovely day.'

Angelina and the the Oscar-winning producer - who turns 51 next month - are parents to Maddox, 13, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, twins Knox & Vivienne, 6, and Pax, who turns 11 this Saturday.
