This mom and wife is fighting for her marriage
The TV star talks about her rough patch in year two and how she's planning to make it better.

We first met Bethenny Frankel, 41, on The Real Housewives of New York City and fell in love with her "tell it like it is" attitude about her personal life. In true Bethenny form, she isn't keeping it a secret that she's now fighting to stay with her husband Jason Hoppy, 40.

Frankel recently finished filming the last season of Bethenny Ever After, so she's now going to focus on her marriage. She tells People that her relationship with Hoppy hit bottom, but she seems to be positive it will grow stronger. "We've been scared. The second year of marriage was not easy," she says. "We hit bottom, (but) we came out the other side." Bethenny Frankel On Marriage, Yoga & Flashing Her Underwear

In the interview, Frankel also cautions against having backup plans in relationships, as a marriage will most likely fail if you have one. She tells the mag, "I think we have what it takes to make it work. I don't have a backup plan. It's not like shopping for shoes and getting a new pair. That's not what it's about."

We hope they have what it takes to move on and that their relationship continues to grow away from the spotlight. Frankel also recently wrapped filming her new daytime talk show, Bethenny, so it makes sense for her to focus on her life at home wiht Hoppy and their 2-year-old daughter, Bryn.

"I'm done with putting my personal life and family on reality television," she reveals.

For now, Frankel, Hoppy and Bryn will be floating in the ocean and soaking in the sun at their private beach home. Frankel jokes that she's in "lockdown" – we can't think of a better way to be locked down (and to work on your marriage) than a nice beach getaway!
