Reese Witherspoon has revealed she doesn't believe in fairytale marriages and that she and her husband, actor Ryan Philippe, have attended counseling sessions.
The Oscar-nominated actress has confessed the pair needed outside help to keep their relationship on the rails, and have had to work hard to keep the romance going throughout their six-year marriage.
“We've had counseling. But it's healthy to deal with problems that come up when you're living with another human being and forging your lives together,” the “Walk The Line” star has revealed.
“We see our marriage not as a free ride but as a partnership you work on. You need to discuss things and be open about how to make each other feel good and happy,” she added.
“Love is a beautiful thing but you've got to nurture it through the 50 things that come during the day, like driving the kids to school, who's picking up the in-laws from the airport and working when one of your kids is running a high fever. Those are the normal things that stress every couple,” she concluded.
Reese and Ryan have have two children, Ava, 6, and two-year-old Deacon together
