Courteney Cox Arquette reveals need for relationship counselling

Courteney Cox-Arquette has revealed that she visited a relationship counsellor with husband David Arquette because they have different ways of dealing with disagreements.

In an interview for Life magazine, Courteney revealed: “We were just in Sardinia for a vacation [and] we got into these fights two nights in a row over stupid stuff. But I could see how relationships break up if you don’t go, ‘What are we doing!?’ So we went to a therapist, and he broke it down for us.”

“He said, ‘Courteney, can you see how David gets embarrassed to have any kind of public fight?’ I don’t scream, but I have no problem saying what I’m feeling in the moment. David’s the opposite. So if I need to get something out, I have to say, ‘David, can you come talk to me for a minute outside?’ Had I done that, (the fights) wouldn’t have gotten nearly as big.”

Aside from that, Courteney believes their marriage is still such a success after seven years because “we just really like each other”.

“He gets a kick out of me, and I get a kick out of him. We’re a good balance for each other. He likes the fact that I’m so gregarious - although it can also make him very uncomfortable - and I like the fact that he is so sensitive. We’re a great team.”

Another key to their seven-year marriage: “We just really like each other,” Cox tells Life. “He gets a kick out of me, and I get a kick out of him. We’re a good balance for each other. He likes the fact that I’m so gregarious – although it can also make him very uncomfortable – and I like the fact that he is so sensitive. We’re a great team.”

Courteney recently revealed they’re planning another child, despite several setbacks before Courteney got pregnant with daughter Coco, now two years old. But they’re not rushing it: “we’re not trying yet. We’re revving up the engines. I’m only ready ’cause time’s a-ticking. If I was 34, I’d wait another year, because I like those three-to-four-year gaps. I want Coco to be helping me with the next one. One child is hard. Two is probably harder.”
