Female First reports that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting some help.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have reportedly been seeing a marriage counsellor in a desperate bid to save their six-year union.

The ‘Hung Up’ singer and her film director husband have allegedly been seeing top marital therapist Tricia Barnes after their relationship hit “rock bottom”, following the couple’s controversial adoption of a Malawi baby.

A source told Britain’s People newspaper: “The marriage is near rock-bottom. They’ve been putting on a united front in public but behind closed doors their marriage has come under strain. The publicity surrounding the adoption has created a difficult atmosphere in their home. After a heart-to-heart they decided to seek the help of a marriage guidance specialist.”

I hope these two crazy kids don’t split. She seems like she almost became a little…well, nicer I guess, since she’s been with him. He seems like a dorky Adidas track suit-wearing Brit who just wants to go for a drink down the pub, but just happens to be married to a neurotic international pop star. Seriously, she could probably try anyone’s patience – buddhist monks, Yoda, dead people.
