Overview

• McConaughey’s new book includes a poem advising couples to ditch a king-size mattress and sleep in a queen-size bed.
• He said a larger bed left him and Camila Alves feeling far apart once their children stopped climbing in, so they chose a tighter fit to stay "shoulder to shoulder."
• The actor emphasized reserving dedicated couple time as parents, saying the way spouses treat each other teaches their kids about future relationships.
• Poems & Prayers is out now and gathers faith-tinged reflections inspired by proverbs and the Old Testament, touching on love, doubt, compassion and forgiveness.
• Married since 2012, McConaughey and Alves have three children — Levi, Vida and Livingston — and he added the smaller bed leaves "no room" for kids.
