We told you about last week about the epic La-Z-Boy war  Kristen Bell and her husband, Dax Shepard, are currently engaged in, but when it comes to solving bigger marital issues, the couple isn’t afraid to get a third party involved.

At the Los Angeles premier of Dax’s new film, CHiPS, Kristen told People that therapy is the secret for their happy marriage. She said:

“We have a very healthy marriage and we got there by doing therapy when we needed it, and constantly doing fierce moral inventories. We both take responsibility when we are wrong, and I think it is easy to work with him because I married him, because I enjoy spending time with him and I trust him. That is exactly what I want in someone that I work with.” She added, “I don’t mind advertising a healthy marriage. I’m trying, just like everyone else.”

Kristen also shared a memory of one of the couple’s major fights during a cross-country road trip on a motorcycle in their first year together. She said:

“We were fighting about the first year of our relationship because it’s a power struggle, and we were fighting about the playlist, and I got so mad at him at one point that I refused to hold onto him. So I was on the back and just held onto the [bike] because I didn’t want to touch him.”

Kristen and Dax have two beautiful children, Lincoln, 3, and Delta, 2, and have been married for 3 1/2 happy years.
