Cox: 'Divorce isn't an option'

Courteney Cox has revealed that she and husband David Arquette undergo marriage therapy because she will not consider a divorce.

The former Friends actress, who recently starred in Bedtime Stories, admitted to the Daily Mail that her nine-year marriage has been through some rocky stages and takes work.

She claimed that she and Arquette have found a "good balance", saying: "Is marriage for ever? I think you get married with the intention that it will be, but who knows?

"I get shocked by people getting divorced all the time, that's why I choose to work on it. Therapy helps us. It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work. I suppose you can work it out by talking to each other - I would just prefer to have a referee, it reminds us why we're together."

Cox, whose parents divorced when she was a child, added: "Before my dad died, he said one of his big regrets was that he hadn't worked on their marriage enough. I don't know what the future's going to hold, but divorce isn't really an option."
