Madonna reportedly demanded that Guy Ritchie follow a “marriage contract” during the last two years of their union.
Madonna is said to have written up the list of rules after they started seeing marriage counsellors in 2006. According to the Sun, the nine point document stated, amongst other things, that Guy had to “work to enrich his wife’s emotional and spiritual wellbeing” and devote several hours a week to reading Kabbalah texts and attending meetings.
The document is also said to have shaped their sex life, insisting that both parties “devote time to our sexual expressiveness” and “not use sex as a stick to beat one another.”
And if tensions did arise between the two, Guy had to “resolve conflicts in a constructive way” and never to shout at Madonna, instead to look her in the eye and say: “I understand that my actions have upset you, please work with me to resolve this.”
A source told the newspaper that Madonna displayed the document in the couple’s New York and London homes and would frequently remind Guy of its contents. A second source explained: “This is just another example of how Madonna tried to control everything during their marriage. She may have tried to control things but it did not save her marriage. The gloves certainly seem to be off as more and more info is leaked!
