MADONNA - MADONNA WORKS AT MARRIAGE FOR HER CHILDREN

MADONNA and her film-maker husband GUY RITCHIE have vowed to put their marital troubles behind them for the sake of their son ROCCO, five, and the pop superstar's daughter LOURDES, nine. The couple have left their London home for a stay in Los Angeles, where they want to spend some quality time together as a family. SNATCH director Ritchie's father JOHN RITCHIE tells UK magazine Closer, "It's the children that will keep them together. The children are everything to them. "LA seems to have helped them. It's easier out there because there is less pressure. They seem to have left the bumps they were having over here behind them. "They have put everything behind them and have gone to LA to enjoy themselves. They're able to go home at night and be together. They both want to see the children. "They are going to have a good time out there and be a family. "You can never know that things will work, but they do seem to be fitting into each other more."
