Kristen Bell believes in healthy marriage

Actress Kristen Bell goes to couples therapy with husband Dax Shepard because they are determined to make their marriage last forever.

The Veronica Mars actress, who has daughters Lincoln, two, and three-months-old Delta with the Parenthood” actor, says they visit a relationship expert on a regular basis, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I don't mind advertising a healthy marriage. I'm trying, just like everyone else,” she said.

"You do better in the gym with a trainer; you don't figure out how to cook without reading a recipe. Therapy is not something to be embarrassed about, added Bell.

The 34-year-old star adores her family, but she wasn't always certain she wanted children.

"Before we had the girls, I asked a few people in my life who are annoyingly blunt and honest on every level if we should, knowing that if it wasn't worth it, they'd have the balls to say, 'Listen, don't. Live your life.' But across the board, everyone said it was un-missable.

"Having kids feels like that first seventh-grade crush that overwhelms every molecule in your body, but it's permanent, she said.
