Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell met and fell in love on The Bachelor. This couple is now going strong, but they have problems just like any other couple.

People is now revealing that Ben and Lauren admitted that they have been going to couples counseling. Is there trouble in paradise for these two?

Ben is admitting that they are not a perfect couple, but not many couples are. They got engaged ten months ago, and now Lauren is living with Ben in Colorado. The couple has been busy filming their new reality show. Lauren Bushnell explained to fans that not everything is perfect, even though they do love each other.

“There are so many weird elements to being in a relationship after The Bachelor. We’ve gotten in arguments like any other couple, but about some things that other couples wouldn’t have to fight about, like the fact that we met when he was dating other women. You can say that’s what I signed up for, but it’s still real life and it’s still hard.”

Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgins are doing everything that they can to make their relationship work, and this means even going to couples counseling at their local church. It is all worth it to them if it works, though. Ben explained the reasons that they have decided to do counseling.

“We want to get a foundation that is healthy and pure and honest, with some help from a mediator. Bachelor or not, our life is not easy to navigate. We have our struggles. But we won’t give up. And for every argument, we’re stronger for it.”

Lauren shared that she wants to spend her life with Ben no matter what. The idea of running away from their relationship was something she would have never done. Instead, they are pushing through any issues and now doing their own reality television show where viewers can see about their life together.
