Guy Richie's father talks about his son's marriage

Guy Richie's father has admitted that his son and Madonna may stay together for the sake of their children, Lourdes and Rocco, and that there is no guarantee the marriage will survive. "It's the children that will keep them together. The children are everything to them," the director's father said. "LA seems to have helped them. It's easier out there because there is less pressure. They seem to have left the bumps they were having over here behind them. You can never know that things will work, but they do seem to be fitting into each other more. They have put everything behind them and gone to LA to enjoy themselves. They're able to go home at night and be together. They both want to see the children. They are going to have a good time out there and be a family." Speculation began early this year that the mega couple were having marital problems, and their friend Elton John even offered them counselling.
