Earlier this year, McCarthy appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show to talk about what has kept their love strong over the years and why they decided to attempt therapy early in their relationship.
"I loved him so much as soon as I met him, I was like, 'How do I not mess this up?' I'm going to ask him, before we even have our first fight, if we can go to therapy together," she said at the time. "He might think I'm crazy, but I want to be able to figure out some tools and discover how we both fight. Do both of us shut down if we're mad at each other, or does one need to communicate?"

"And by sitting down with a therapist, [we figured] out, 'Oh, that's what you do when you fight? This is what I do,'" she added. "And then the therapist gave us tools to say, 'Okay, when this happens, this is what you do.' And I'm telling you, it was one of the greatest ideas ever to go to therapy before there's a problem, to figure out how to have those conversations with each other."
McCarthy and Wahlberg tied the knot in 2014. McCarthy shares son Evan Joseph, 19, with ex John Asher while Wahlberg shares sons Xavier Alexander, 28, and Elijah Hendrix, 20, with ex Kimberley Fey.
