Jon and Kate Gosselin are having a rough go of it lately, but according to sources, the couple are seeing a marriage counselor to try and repair their broken relationship. Jon wanted to go from the start, but Kate wasn't so keen. However, she's since changed her mind, particularly for the sake of their eight children.

Cheating allegations for both Jon and Kate, sent them on a slippery slope of relationship trouble and both were unsure if they wanted to salvage their marriage.
Jon soon decided he wanted to seek counseling, but Kate didn't want to bother. However, with the fate of their TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8 hanging in the balance, Kate reconsidered. Wait, I thought it was for the kids' sake?
A source said, "It's make-or-break time for Jon and Kate, and counseling may be the only hope they have to repair their shattered marriage.
"The big question is whether they'll allow cameras into their therapy sessions. TLC would want to film at least portions of the sessions, but obviously Jon and Kate would have to agree."
Kate's brother, Kevin Kreider, said, "Kate didn't want any kind of marriage counseling." Another insider close to the couple, said, "Jon was all for counseling, but Kate thought their marriage might be too far gone. She would do it for the sake of the children, if nothing else."
Kate said on the sneak peek of their fifth season opener, "Everything's falling apart. I feel like the world is sitting on my shoulders. But I will not give up. I will not lay down and die."
But apparently Kate has other motives as well - she hopes to sign on with TLC for two more seasons of their popular show. "Kate wants a future in showbiz, and airing their counseling sessions will shoot the show's ratings through the roof."
Let's hope Kate's motivation to repair her marriage is for the sake of the kids and their family, not because of the show!
