AVRIL LAVIGNE has credited marriage to fellow Canadian DERYCK WHIBLEY for turning her into a more mature, calmer person.

Lavigne, 22, and Whibley, 26, tied the knot last June and she insists the relationship has had a positive influence on her.

She explains, “I have a strong personality. (But) I don’t fight people anymore. I’m more mature and I just don’t think fighting is good.”

But Lavigne insists getting married hasn’t completely tamed her wild ways: “I still have my boyfriend-bashing songs!”
