It seems that every story that comes out revolving around Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise is painting their relationship in a negative light. The National Enquirer is reporting that the couple started getting counseling at the Church of Scientology. Supposedly, Tom was looking to have Katie be more of a stay at home mom and is upset about her going back to work.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may try to resolve their differences by meeting with a counselor at the Church of Scientology, insiders say. Katie is filming "Mad Money" in Shreveport, La., but instead of going solo, Tom flew there to help look after their daughter, Suri. Tom even brought his Mom, Mary Lee, along.
"This is the biggest test of their relationship so far," continued the source.  "It's been a tough last few months for them. Tom wants more kids as soon as possible.  But as much as Katie loves being a mom, she's enjoying working again."

Counseling is a normal part of today's marital unit. It really isn't very newsworthy right? Well, check out the details of what it means to get counseling from The Church of Scientology:

According to Dr. Stephen Kent, "Scientology does not accept any other form of marriage counseling. They believe that marriage problems are all a matter of a breakdown in communication and the way to improve a marriage is to undergo sessions with a Scientology counselor using an E-met." The E-meter is a form of a lie detector test that's supposed to register thought patterns. The source insisted, "Katie will do whatever it takes to keep the marriage stable.  So she'll be open to Scientology counseling sessions."

Lie detector tests? That sounds like a safe place to me.
MSNBC is reporting that Katie is secretly trying to reclaim her old life including her faith. In addition to reaching out to old friends and family, Katie is contacting local pastors trying to figure out a way to get Suri enrolled in "kiddie Catholicism" classes.

The mag reports that Holmes is reconnecting with family and friends and even secretly talking to Catholic priests. Holmes was raised a Catholic, but since her marriage, has embraced Scientology, her husband's religion. The actress hasn't been to church lately, but is "secretly talking to pastors" for advice, and wants to enroll Suri in "kiddie Catholicism" classes, according to L&S.

What do you think? Is this just a way to sell magazines? Or are these two really heading down the wrong path?
