Rumor has it that Madonna and hubby Guy Ritchie are seeing a marriage counselor in a bid to save their six-year union.

The pop diva and her film director husband have allegedly been seeing top marital therapist Tricia Barnes after their relationship weakened under pressure as a result of their controversial adoption of David Banda from Malawi.

"The marriage is near rock-bottom. They've been putting on a united front in public but behind closed doors their marriage has come under strain. The publicity surrounding the adoption has created a difficult atmosphere in their home. After a heart-to-heart they decided to seek the help of a marriage guidance specialist," a source told Britain's People newspaper.

Further the source added, "Madonna and Guy both dote on little David but it is her attitude that can irritate and upset Guy. She drove the whole adoption process from start to finish and Guy was left trailing in her slipstream just nodding and going along with things."

We hope you both can find the best way out and will be together forever.
