Pink shocked fans when she revealed that therapy saved her marriage to husband Carey Hart.

During a candid chat with therapist Vanessa Inn on Instagram Live, Pink, 40, admitted on Friday that she and hubby Carey Hart had to work hard on maintaining their marriage.

"I got a lot of [flack] for telling people that Carey and I have been in couples counseling with Vanessa," Pink remarked before breaking down exactly what the therapist did to preserve her marriage.

"It’s the only reason that we’re still together," the three-time Grammy winner admitted, saying that she and Hart began to "speak two different languages" to each other over time.

Pink said it was crucial to have a third party break their language barrier.

"You need someone to hear both of you and then translate it for you, and without Vanessa translating for me for the last 18 years, I mean we would not be together," she confessed.

Pink also said talking isn't the only hurdle the two faced. "There’s a difference between connection and intimacy," she added. "And intimacy is the part that’s hard for me."
