Kristen Bell gets marriage counselling with Dax Shepard

Los Angeles: "Frozen" star Kristen Bell has revealed that she and her husband Dax Shepard have been participating in couple's therapy since the beginning of their relationship.

The 34-year-old "House of Lies" actress said it helps her and her husband accept each others' point of view and negotiate disagreements, reported Ace Showbiz.

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

Shepard agreed with Bell's statement and added the counselling is essential to strengthen his bond with Bell.

"I noticed an actor and her husband on that said In Couples' Therapy! The clear message is, 'Oh, their marriage is ending.' There's such a negative connotation. In my previous relationship, we went to couples therapy at the end, and that's often too late.

"You can't go after nine years and start figuring out what patterns you're in."
