'Real Housewives Of New York' Rookie, Kristen Taekman Reveals That The Bravo Show Was "Therapy" For Her Marriage

As a rookie to Real Housewives of New York City Kristen Taekman was up for the challenges the show would bring, including sharing her life as mother and her marriage to Josh Taekman.

The reality star recently revealed all in an interview with OK! magazine, and expressed just how much the show helped her marriage. 

"The show was wonderful therapy,"  She continues, "Remember the fight at the Spartan race? I watched it three times. The first time, I was like, 'My husband is such an a--hole! He left me! He's a jerk.' The second time I watched it, I was like, 'I'm such a p---y. What is my problem?' The third time, it was 50-50. I ruined my husband's day! So I have been using that. I'll pause and think, Okay, Kristen, you had a really s---y day. Don't take it out on Josh. I'm a complainer, so I know that now and I'm working on it."

If you were a fan of the show, then you probably didn't like the times when Taekman's husband, Josh spoke negative about his wife. Taekman says that, "Viewers would go on Twitter and tell me to divorce my husband!" Kristen says-she says they're committed to making things work. And they're seeing results. "Our marriage is more balanced than viewers might thing," she says. "Josh gets up early with the kids every morning, and we switch off when we have work obligations...It's teamwork."

Taekman, like most people who are married, says that, "marriage is really hard." Taekman adds, "We are a lot stronger than a reality show," she says. "Team Taekman all the way! With twelve years, two kids, and one season of reality TV under our belts, we are in it for the long haul."
