Madonna and Guy RitchieMadonna and Guy RitchieWe've all heard the whisperings about Guy Ritchie and Madonna's so-called turbulent marriage.

But come closer, my dears, and hear the secret to how they overcame their problems...

By adopting a Malawian bubba, that's how.

Guy Ritchie's dad, John, has been chatting about how baby David has been the cure to all their marital ailments.

It appears he's stopped them from bickering over who wears the trousers and brought them closer as a family.

John told The Sun: "Guy flew out to LA for work for a few weeks before Madonna and the kids.

"They are all out there now. She just went out to be with him and the kids.

"Things have settled down and are great between them. Since they have had David they feel very content.

"He makes them feel very happy, they feel blessed.

"They may have had their problems but they are now a very functional and happy family unit.

"Obviously Madonna has a very good nanny but she is also putting a lot into him and into the family."
