Pastor Campbell suggested the couple’s high-profile line of work could have caused issues.
"I'm sure that one of the issues they struggle with is the stress of their work together,” he told RadarOnline.com.
“For example, always having to push to a new and higher level is very hard work and puts a huge strain on all relationships."

Pastor Campbell said the reality-television newlyweds were required to undergo pre-marital counseling prior to their nuptials.
"Most couples have faced difficult times and love is tested,” he added.
“It seems to be the one common denominator of all marriages and relationships. I pray for Spencer and Heidi and their happiness.”

Stay out of it, Pastor. She can't run fast or far enough away. She might even get props for losing the bimbo blonde look and doing something more natural with her hair.

There are some marriages that just can not be saved, and this is one of them. Spencer has said some very hateful things about Heidi's family and said he never wants kids. This man is to self centered for any counseling to work.

He nees help. A classic narcissitic emotional abuser. Thinks everyone else is wrong not him. Controls her, isolates her. That's abuse. Her family seems genuninely worried. Sounds eerily too close to the Dorothy Stratton story.

Sorry but if one partner is violent and doing crazy things, it's time to bail. You don't take chances with your life. Spenser likes to play with guns - who's to say that he won't use them on someone one of these days?

Unless this is all just a PR stunt. In that case, I hope the two of them sink into a swamp for good. It's not funny using domestic violence as an excuse to bail, if you aren't experiencing it. Makes people less inclined to believe others.

IMO the marriage itself was nothing but another publicity stunt to get more camera time. They were running out of ideas to "get famous". I think Heidi got sucked in to Spencer's wacky world and ended up looking like a fool to all.
