Elton to counsel Madonna

London - Sir Elton John and David Furnish have been offering Madonna and Guy Ritchie "marriage counselling".
David, 43, told the Mirror: "Elton and I have spoken to Madonna plenty of times lately. She and Guy are close friends of ours.
"They both need to concentrate on their careers if they want their relationship to work. Elton and I completely understand.
"But if they neglect that, their relationship will inevitably disintegrate.
"They will be fine if they don't neglect what they love to do. If that means they can't see each other, that's the way it has to be."
The Canadian film producer said work had kept him away from Elton, 58, who he wed in a gay ceremony in December.
David, also a director at the Elton John Aids Foundation, said: "We know what it's like to be under so much pressure.
"We had our lovely wedding and honeymoon, but I haven't seen Elton for the past two weeks because I've been busy with the HIV/Aids charity and my own projects."
David added: "Couples have to compromise. That's what Guy and Madonna have to remember and they'll make it." ? Ananova.com
