As much as we would like to wave a magic wand to ensure a happy and successful marriage, unfortunately there is no secret formula: it just takes work.
One lady who knows this only too well is reality star and fashion designer Kristin Cavallari, who has spoken candidly about her marriage to professional American football star Jay Cutler this week.
The former star of The Hills was filming a photo shoot for the latest issue of American Baby magazine when the subject of succeeding at marriage was raised.
The 28-year-old, who is currently expecting baby number three, told the magazine: “I’m not ashamed to say that Jay and I consistently go to therapy, because it’s been extremely beneficial for our relationship.”
“For example, when you’re fighting you should never place blame on your partner by saying, ‘you do this’ or ‘you do that’. You should say how those actions make you feel. It goes a long way,” she explained.
Kristin, who is already mum to two sons – two-year-old Camden and 17-month-old Jaxon – also took the opportunity to show off her stunning new shoe range with Chinese Laundry.
The star announced her pregnancy back in May, going on to confirm shortly after that she and Jay are expecting a daughter.
