Last year, the couple - who have been married for 28 years - <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11999567/Kelly-Ripa-Mark-Consuelos-sit-COUPLES-THERAPY-Live-Kelly-Mark.html" rel="nofollow"> exposed some of their marital issues </a> by interviewing their personal therapist, Dr. Linda Carter, live on air. During their conversation with Dr. Carter, Kelly asked the psychologist what couples who work together should do if they get into a fight right before work so they can ensure the tension doesn't trickle over into their professional lives. 'Let's say a couple has an argument at home and let's say they have to go to work together. What's the best way to deal with that?' she asked. Dr. Carter responded, 'It's really important to have a ritual, something to tell the other person that things are fine, the argument is over, maybe by holding hands, squeezing their partner's hand - a signal.' <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2D3Pdw_0w7hqmKI00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2D3Pdw_0w7hqmKI00" width="634" height="370" ><figcaption>Last year, the couple - who have been married for 28 years - exposed some of their marital issues by interviewing their personal therapist, Dr. Linda Carter, live on air </figcaption></figure> 'What if the argument isn't over though?' Kelly continued, to which the doctor explained, 'Then it can be a signal that says, "We'll get back to this later but for now we're putting it on hold."' Mark then revealed that he and Kelly once had a 'disagreement' before they had to go to a 'public dinner party' together. He said he tried to tell his wife that he was 'done with the argument' by doing just what she suggested, taking her hand during the event, however, his gesture was not returned. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> 'What I felt on the other side of my warmth was the coldest, deadest hand,' he said. 'When she's happy with me, she gives me a squeeze, a little touch. '[But that night] it was like a corpse. I was holding a corpse. She does it on purpose.' During the chat, Kelly also admitted that Mark can be too clingy once in a while. After asking Dr. Carter for tips on how couples could manage being together 24/7 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the actress explained that she 'sometimes' struggles with that herself. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=118MkX_0w7hqmKI00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=118MkX_0w7hqmKI00" width="634" height="484" ><figcaption>Mark revealed that he and Kelly once had a 'disagreement' before they had to go to a 'public dinner party' together </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0zZWB8_0w7hqmKI00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0zZWB8_0w7hqmKI00" width="634" height="480" ><figcaption>Mark tried to tell his wife that he was 'done with the argument' by squeezing her hand, but his kind gesture was not returned </figcaption></figure> 'Sometimes, if I go into another room to get space, somebody walks in right behind me,' she said, turning to Mark, who admitted, 'Yeah I do that.' But he promised that next time Kelly tells him she 'needs a minute,' he's going to leave her alone. Meanwhile, Kelly stunned both her husband and viewers of Live with Kelly and Mark by broaching the subject of divorce live on air this week. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> She started off by mentioning how she'd recently read a magazine article about the growing phenomenon of the 'gray divorce' - a term used to describe the increasing number of divorces among people aged 50 and older. 'I was talking to Mark about it and Mark got very defensive,' she explained. Mark responded, 'You came home from the trip and you were like, 'I read this amazing article!'' Kelly then joked that the way the article was written had made her feel like she wanted to get a 'gray' divorce too. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4L7aAf_0w7hqmKI00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4L7aAf_0w7hqmKI00" width="634" height="372" ><figcaption>Kelly stunned viewers of Live with Kelly and Mark on Monday by broaching the subject of divorce live on air with husband Mark </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0lGyyn_0w7hqmKI00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0lGyyn_0w7hqmKI00" width="306" height="342" ><figcaption>Kelly said she'd read a magazine article about the growing phenomenon of the 'gray divorce' - a term used to describe the increasing number of divorces among people aged 50 and older </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0So9Zp_0w7hqmKI00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0So9Zp_0w7hqmKI00" width="306" height="342" ><figcaption>'I was talking to Mark about it and Mark got very defensive,' she explained. </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The awkward exchange divided viewers, with one writing, 'She used the article to make him feel insecure. That can work two ways. The guy clings or he walks out of the door. Risky business.' Another added, 'Some truth in every joke and he looks nervous.' A third said, 'Divorcing as an older adult is horrible for many of us who've gone through it. How lovely that she's [able] to joke about it so cavalierly.' However, one viewer had praise for the couple, writing, 'I like them together, they are relatable.' Kelly and Mark first met in 1994 when he was auditioning for the soap opera All My Children, which launched both of their careers. They eloped to Las Vegas on May Day 1996 and have been together ever since, welcoming three children. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate></div></body>
