Madonna and Guy Ritchie have reportedly signed a love pact after visiting therapist Tricia Barnes over the New Year to save their marriage.

The pop queen and her director husband, who married in December 2000, have reportedly pledged to spend as much time as possible with Madonna's 10-year-old daughter Lourdes, their six-year-old son Rocco and their 17-month-old adopted son David.

The couple have also agreed to suspend solo projects which affect the whole family and to search for a larger home in New York City - according to media reports.

A close friend of the couple tells British newspaper The People: "They have both worked really hard at their marriage issues and come to a new understanding.

"They have each accepted their own part in the problems they had been experiencing and are determined not to let anything come between them again.

"It's a fresh start and they actually look like a pair of newlyweds again."
