Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are seeing a relationship counselor, it has
been claimed.

The lovers, who met on the set of 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith', have allegedly had a
series of bitter arguments and have hired a counselor to work through their
problems.

A source told Grazia magazine: "This year is crux time. They have to
reach a decision on what they expect from each other - and fast. Angelina
has to realize Brad needs stability and Brad has to come to terms with her
driving ambition as a world ambassador.

"Brad's family are blown away marriage didn't happen a long time ago. But
Angelina doesn't want to put down roots and turn into a 'homemaker'.

"Her late mother had a lot to do with Angelina's decision to have
counseling. Marcheline made her realize it wouldn't be such a bad idea to
give marriage a go."

Brad and Angelina are determined to work through their problems for the sake
of their three children, adopted Maddox and Zahara, and their biological
daughter Shiloh.

The source added: "They have had some serious disagreements but Brad and
Angelina agree that they don't want to make any more mistakes, particularly
now there are three precious little lives involved.

"This wasn't the case in their previous marriages. The stakes are much
higher than when they were childless."
