Kristen Bell is all about making her marriage work.
In an interview with Good Housekeeping for its May 2015 issue, the 34-year-old actress admitted that the key to her happy marriage with actor husband Dax Shepard is couple's therapy. The pair says they came from very different backgrounds, and Bell revealed that they started seeing a couple's counselor when they began dating in 2007.
"You do better in the gym with a trainer; you don't figure out how to cook without reading a recipe," she said about marriage counseling. "Therapy is not something to be embarrassed about."
Shepard agreed with his wife, saying, "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."
The two also described their relationship as the personified version of Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract" video.
"We have such different backgrounds, it's comical," he said about their difference. "Until I was 32, I thought the world was just wolves, that there was no way anyone was acting with any kind of benevolence. When I met her and her friends, I was suspicious of their unbridled happiness. I thought, 'Something stinks here; they're in a cult.'"
