(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Julianna Margulies always makes an effort to look sexy for her husband when they are on a date.

The 44-year-old actress is currently starring as straight-laced lawyer Alicia Florrick in hit television show The Good Wife, but insists she isnt as uptight as the character she portrays. The dark-haired beauty has been married to Keith Lieberthal since 2007 and has revealed she keeps the spark alive in their relationship by dressing up whenever he takes her out to dinner.

"I feel sexy when I'm happy," Julianna explained in an interview with Harpers Bazaar magazine. "If I'm going out on a date with my husband, I want to feel sexy. I want him to see me that way. So I think you have to make an effort. When you're in love, you feel sexy."

Julianna admits she never thought she was the marrying type, but feels happier than ever since she tied the knot with Keith. The actress used to feel scared of making such a commitment but says her relationship now makes sense.

The couple have a three-year-old son, Kieran, together and Julianna often feels torn between her family life and career. She does her best to juggle her time, but is sometimes left feeling inadequate about herself.

It's tricky being a working mom. You feel guilt all the way around. You want to be there for your husband, be there for your kids, be great at your job, all that stuff, she added. But at the end of the day, if you put everyone in front of you, what happens to you? (C) Cover Media
