Pink: For the singer, marriage is "a total tremor"

US singer Pink relies on marriage counseling. The therapy helps her and her husband Carey Hart to cope with this "total tremor".

Pink (41, "What About Us") and her husband Carey Hart (45) rely on marriage counseling. The US singer has now revealed on Instagram how much that has helped them. In response to a picture of her laughing and hugging her husband, she wrote that it was her "relentless and persistent idealism" that kept them together. "Marriage is awful, wonderful, defiance and anger," added Pink. "It's boring, terrifying, and a total shudder. It means loving another fallible creature while trying to love yourself."

The 41-year-old then spoke about how her therapy had paid off: "People laugh at us because we either fight or laugh. They roll their eyes when we talk about therapy," she wrote. "But I tell you: it's worth it." Therapy is not "for weak people, hippies or liberals", says Pink, but for "broken people who want to be whole", for "outliers who want a family". Therapy is "a lesson in how to sit down and listen. How to love yourself so that the other person can too".

Married for almost 15 years

Pink ended the post with a message to her husband, "I love you, baby. I'm grateful we made it to this photo." Pink and Hart were married in January 2006. They have daughter Willow Sage, 9, and son Jameson Moon, 3. Last year, in an interview with Carson Daly (47) on the "Today" show, the singer said that she and Hart had been in therapy for most of their relationship.

"We come from broken families and we didn't have a model: How are we going to keep this family together and lead this crazy life? And there isn't a book that says how to do it. So we go to counseling and it works," said she then.
